Hi friends, welcome to tutor funny
0:04
channel. Today I'm going to teach about
0:06
the springboard road map which called as
0:10
springboard layer architecture. Without
0:13
knowing this stuff you cannot work on
0:17
springboard project. This is the very
0:19
important stuff before you are driving
0:21
to the springboard projects as well as a
0:26
springboard application. Okay. So first
0:30
you have to understand how the spring
0:32
boot works. First front end. Front end
0:36
mean everyone can see the front end
0:38
applications. Okay. Uh front end
0:40
application mean uh imagine you have a
0:42
form. The form consist of first name,
0:46
last name, address, phone number. There
0:49
are the those are the fields. It has one
0:52
submit button. After you fill the form,
0:54
you can click submit button. That is a
0:57
front end. Okay. that is known as a
0:59
front end. It send to the data to the
1:02
controller. The send to the data to the
1:04
controller. In between uh these two we
1:08
have a DTO. What is the meaning of DTO?
1:11
It is meaning of the date. Okay. The
1:14
student mean student has a first name,
1:17
last name, phone number and address. So
1:21
those are the entities. Okay. Those are
1:24
the student attributes. Okay. You can
1:26
see that so that attributes or data it
1:28
is passing to the controller. Controller
1:31
is the part which is a main part of the
1:35
framework with handled by the handle by
1:37
control. It is control everything. Okay.
1:40
If if it is a credit application, it
1:42
managed by entire credit application. It
1:45
may be the uh save record or update
1:47
record or view record or delete record.
1:49
All things managed by control. Okay.
1:51
Controller is the part which managed by
1:54
all the operation on the credit
1:56
application. So the controller which
1:59
sent to
2:01
send the record to the service. Okay. In
2:04
between control and service you can see
2:06
there's a interface. Okay. The the
2:09
interface the service mean the service
2:12
consist of interface as well as a
2:13
classes. They both are implemented as a
2:16
service in spring. Okay. So first you
2:20
have keep in your mind front end send
2:22
the data to the controller controller
2:24
passing to the service. Service consist
2:26
of two things interface and
2:28
process. Okay. After the service passing
2:32
the record to the repository repository
2:34
what is the meaning of repository in
2:36
your core Java you will be able to write
2:39
the code uh data based queries select
2:42
all from records. Okay. Those are those
2:44
kind of the things in the framework
2:46
managed by repos. Okay, that repository
2:49
mean base. Okay, the OM based we have to
2:53
return the cooks. Okay, so the very
2:56
simple implementation of this one. Okay,
2:58
you have simply you have to search the
3:00
record, add the record all the things
3:02
you are managed by the repository very
3:03
simply they are implemented by the
3:05
spring book application. Okay. So the
3:07
repository sent to the record to the
3:09
data source data to it may be this uh
3:13
MySQL or postsql or MongoDB those all
3:17
the database can manage the data source.
3:20
Okay this this this how the lay
3:22
architecture works after
3:25
uh after repository send the data to the
3:28
data source it will be saving or update
3:31
or delete the record after done this
3:33
operation it's sent back to the front
3:35
end. Okay, here it is sent back to the
3:37
front end. Okay, it is here this request
3:40
is coming the response is going. Okay,
3:43
send back to the request uh response.
3:46
Okay. When the front end we are uh when
3:48
you enter the form uh submission when
3:51
you click the submit button that there
3:53
there should be a request request are
3:54
coming from via the controller. After
3:56
that after record added to the database
3:59
or fail whatever okay the operation is
4:02
succeed or fail it is sent back to the
4:05
request. So here and front end it show
4:08
if the record is added successfully that
4:10
show the message as a record
4:11
successfully. If there is any getting
4:12
the error the car message has been
4:14
submitted to the front end. This is
4:16
simple implementation of stream code
4:18
application. You have to
4:21
you have to have a good knowledge of
4:24
this. Okay. This things I am going to uh
4:27
do uh I'm going to show the uh practical
4:31
in the spring book open the springbook
4:33
application and how this layer
4:35
architecture work and I'll be showing
4:37
you the simple stuff. Okay let's move
4:39
into the practical part.
4:49
Spring boot application project, right?
4:52
Imagine you have a core Java. How to
4:55
develop in this project? First, you have
4:57
to make the database.
4:59
Make a database.
5:02
Inside the database.
5:06
Inside the database
5:09
maker
5:11
tables.
5:14
The same flow the frame architecture
5:17
also working. First we have to there is
5:20
a file which is a application property.
5:23
Here we have configured the database
5:24
connections. All the database we have
5:27
configured. Right. This all the project
5:29
I will be uh I will doing and
5:32
practically then you will be
5:33
understanding that. Okay. We have
5:35
created the database. What is the
5:36
database you have created here? This a
5:38
database I have created. After that we
5:40
have create the table. We have a one
5:43
package. We have created the entity.
5:45
This is a package. What are the columns
5:48
inside the table. Here we have specify
5:51
the column name. Uh the table name.
5:55
These are the columns.
5:58
Right. First you have to create the
6:00
database and table. After that this
6:04
table whatever the columns are there we
6:07
have to create the separate package DTO.
6:09
So DTO the is same only the the column
6:12
this this is the column name will be
6:14
this this how the database column name
6:16
will be created. This is the front end
6:18
data
6:20
right the front end data the same thing
6:22
we have to create here DTO front id name
6:27
and address and this all things I will
6:29
explain don't worry about that right I
6:30
just you have to understand the flow how
6:32
the flow is working in the spring boot
6:33
application then only you have to easily
6:35
developing and implement the project
6:36
industrial project this is must how to
6:39
implement that step by step so the this
6:41
of the table this is the columns are
6:43
there so this columns this column this
6:46
is a column when the request is coming
6:47
from the front end. These are the
6:48
columns names. It goes to the
6:51
controller. Controller receive the
6:54
request. Get this DTO save DTO. Okay. If
6:56
you update the DTO, update DTO, get the
6:59
DTO, get the different DTO you have to
7:01
create, right? So here we get you just
7:05
understand record is coming via the DTO.
7:08
DTO sending the record to a student
7:10
service mean it's a service. A student
7:13
service service if you have got the
7:16
service this is the interface only the
7:19
implementation is there nothing do
7:22
anything else so the interface passing
7:25
to the service interface passing to the
7:27
class which is a student impl
7:32
into the database so add the records
7:34
into the database we can't directly add
7:37
the data so what we have to connect
7:40
through what the links
7:42
entity entity entity. So here what I did
7:46
here is so here you can see here all
7:48
things are done record is coming v here.
7:51
So DTO we are passing the records after
7:54
that we have to save the record via the
7:57
repo. So we have created a repo. So repo
8:00
how to pass this is the this is our
8:02
entity student entity. Right? So that's
8:05
how we are telling that we are receiving
8:08
the data from the
8:10
uh service. This is a service service
8:14
what I'm doing there is we can't add the
8:16
data direct to the repo. This is a repo.
8:18
What happen is get the this is the DTO.
8:21
DTO we have this is DTO we have set the
8:23
get and get method all the datas. After
8:25
that we are setting to the we have to
8:27
create the object of the entity at
8:30
entity. Entity mean this is a table
8:32
setting values also there it will be
8:34
setting to entity through we have to add
8:37
the records into the database. So this
8:39
is the repo we write the repo. Okay. So
8:42
here entity object we are passing the
8:45
entity object. Student repo means
8:47
student repo. Student repo which is
8:50
communicate the database and add the
8:52
record into the database. That's it.
8:54
After that it will be return it back
8:56
return and it will be record added
8:59
successfully. It goes to the front end.
9:00
This how the works. Record is coming via
9:02
the DTO. DTO passing the controller
9:04
controller passing to the service
9:07
service pass. IMPL passing to the repo
9:11
repo it can't directly pass it create
9:14
the object of the entity student it will
9:17
be passing through via the entity to
9:20
repo at the recording to the database.
9:22
This is this how the flow work you must
9:25
understand before you have to creating
9:28
the project of spring architect layer
9:31
architect. If you understand this one
9:34
well whatever project you can develop
9:37
without any barrier. This is must okay
9:40
you can develop the project without any
9:42
barrier. This is what you you must
9:44
learn. Record is coming when the request
9:47
is coming as front end. front end
9:48
passing the controller controller
9:49
passing to the service service the
9:51
repository repository to the one who
9:52
passing to the record to the data source
9:55
via the entity after that like the
9:58
record is added successfully what happen
10:00
it's it's the the response back to your
10:03
front end right this is how the spring
10:08
layer architecture work I hope you guys
10:11
you understood so far well I'll be see
10:14
you in my next lecture and thank you for
10:16
