Create the Package entity inside the package create the class Employee

Employee

package com.springschool.firstapp.entity;


import com.vladmihalcea.hibernate.type.json.JsonType;
import org.hibernate.annotations.Type;
import org.hibernate.annotations.TypeDef;

import javax.persistence.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;

@Entity
@Table(name = "employee")
@TypeDefs({
        @TypeDef(name = "json",typeClass = JsonType.class)
})


public class Employee {

    @Id
    @Column(name = "employee_id",length = 45)
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private int employeeId;

    @Column(name = "employee_name",length = 100,nullable = false)
    private String employeeName;

    @Column(name = "employee_address",length = 150)
    private String employeeAddress;

    @Column(name = "employee_salary",length = 25)
    private double employeeSalary;

    @Type(type = "json")
    @Column(name = "contact_numbers",columnDefinition = "json")
    private ArrayList contactNumbers;

    @Column(name = "nic",length = 12,unique = true)
    private String nic;

    @Column(name = "active_state",columnDefinition = "TINYINT default 1")
    private boolean activeState;

    public Employee() {
    }

    public Employee(int employeeId, String employeeName, String employeeAddress, double employeeSalary, ArrayList contactNumbers, String nic, boolean activeState) {
        this.employeeId = employeeId;
        this.employeeName = employeeName;

        this.activeState = activeState;
    }

    public int getEmployeeId() {
        return employeeId;
    }

    public void setEmployeeId(int employeeId) {
        this.employeeId = employeeId;
    }

    public String getEmployeeName() {
        return employeeName;
    }

    public void setEmployeeName(String employeeName) {
        this.employeeName = employeeName;
    }

    public String getEmployeeAddress() {

    }

    public double getEmployeeSalary() {
        return employeeSalary;
    }

    public void setEmployeeSalary(double employeeSalary) {
        this.employeeSalary = employeeSalary;
    }

    public ArrayList getContactNumbers() {
        return contactNumbers;
    }

    public void setContactNumbers(ArrayList contactNumbers) {
        this.contactNumbers = contactNumbers;
    }

    public String getNic() {
        return nic;
    }

    public void setNic(String nic) {
        this.nic = nic;
    }

    public boolean isActiveState() {
        return activeState;
    }

    public void setActiveState(boolean activeState) {
        this.activeState = activeState;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Employee{" +
                "employeeId=" + employeeId +
                ", employeeName='" + employeeName + '\'' +
                ", employeeAddress='" + employeeAddress + '\'' +
                ", employeeSalary=" + employeeSalary +
                ", contactNumbers=" + contactNumbers +

                ", activeState=" + activeState +
                '}';
    }
}

Create the Package Dt0 inside the package create the class EmployeeDTO

EmployeeDTO

package com.springschool.firstapp.dto;

import org.hibernate.annotations.Type;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import java.util.ArrayList;

public class EmployeeDTO {


    private int employeeId;
    private String employeeName;
    private String employeeAddress;
    private double employeeSalary;
    private ArrayList contactNumbers;
    private String nic;
    private boolean activeState;

    public EmployeeDTO() {
    }

    public EmployeeDTO(int employeeId, String employeeName, String employeeAddress, double employeeSalary, ArrayList contactNumbers, String nic, boolean activeState) {
        this.employeeId = employeeId;
        this.employeeName = employeeName;
        this.employeeAddress = employeeAddress;
        this.employeeSalary = employeeSalary;
        this.contactNumbers = contactNumbers;
        this.nic = nic;
        this.activeState = activeState;
    }

    public int getEmployeeId() {
        return employeeId;
    }

    public void setEmployeeId(int employeeId) {
        this.employeeId = employeeId;
    }

    public String getEmployeeName() {
        return employeeName;
    }

    public void setEmployeeName(String employeeName) {
        this.employeeName = employeeName;
    }

    public String getEmployeeAddress() {
        return employeeAddress;
    }

    public void setEmployeeAddress(String employeeAddress) {
        this.employeeAddress = employeeAddress;
    }

    public double getEmployeeSalary() {
        return employeeSalary;
    }

    public void setEmployeeSalary(double employeeSalary) {
        this.employeeSalary = employeeSalary;
    }

    public ArrayList getContactNumbers() {
        return contactNumbers;
    }

    public void setContactNumbers(ArrayList contactNumbers) {
        this.contactNumbers = contactNumbers;
    }

    public String getNic() {
        return nic;
    }

    public void setNic(String nic) {
        this.nic = nic;
    }

    public boolean isActiveState() {
        return activeState;
    }

    public void setActiveState(boolean activeState) {
        this.activeState = activeState;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "EmployeeDTO{" +
                "employeeId=" + employeeId +
                ", employeeName='" + employeeName + '\'' +
                ", employeeAddress='" + employeeAddress + '\'' +
                ", employeeSalary=" + employeeSalary +
                ", contactNumbers=" + contactNumbers +

                ", activeState=" + activeState +
                '}';
    }
}

Create the Package Controller inside the package create the class EmployeeController

EmployeeController

import com.springschool.firstapp.dto.EmployeeDTO;
import com.springschool.firstapp.service.EmployeeService;
import com.springschool.firstapp.service.EmployeeServiceIMPL;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;

@RestController
@CrossOrigin
@RequestMapping("api/v1/employee")
public class EmployeeController 
{
   @Autowired
   private EmployeeService employeeService;

    @PostMapping(path = "/save")
    public String saveEmployee(@RequestBody EmployeeDTO employeeDTO)
    {
        String id = employeeService.addEmployee(employeeDTO);
        return id;
    }
}

Create the Package Service inside the package create the one class EmployeeServiceIMPL and create one interface EmployeeService

Employee Service

import com.springschool.firstapp.dto.EmployeeDTO;
import com.springschool.firstapp.repository.EmployeeRepo;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;

public interface EmployeeService 
{
    String addEmployee(EmployeeDTO employeeDTO);
}

EmployeeServiceIMPL

import com.springschool.firstapp.dto.EmployeeDTO;
import com.springschool.firstapp.entity.Employee;
import com.springschool.firstapp.repository.EmployeeRepo;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

import java.util.ArrayList;

@Service
public class EmployeeServiceIMPL implements EmployeeService{

    @Autowired
    private EmployeeRepo employeeRepo;

    @Override
    public String addEmployee(EmployeeDTO employeeDTO) {

       Employee employee = new Employee(

               employeeDTO.getEmployeeId(),
               employeeDTO.getEmployeeName(),
               employeeDTO.getEmployeeAddress(),
               employeeDTO.getEmployeeSalary(),
               employeeDTO.getContactNumbers(),
               employeeDTO.getNic(),
               employeeDTO.isActiveState()
       );
        employeeRepo.save(employee);

        return employee.getEmployeeName();

    }
}

Create the Package EmployeeRepo inside the package create one interface EmployeeRepo

EmployeeRepo

import com.springschool.firstapp.entity.Employee;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.config.EnableJpaRepositories;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

@EnableJpaRepositories
@Repository
public interface EmployeeRepo extends JpaRepository<Employee,Integer> {


}
