What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of boilerplate code for new Spring Boot REST APIs, significantly reducing the time and effort required to set up a new project with a robust, layered architecture.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project Scaffolding: Generates a complete project structure with controllers, services, repositories, domain entities, DTOs, and mappers.
  • Layered Architecture: Implements a traditional n-tier architecture (controller, service, repository, domain) for clear separation of concerns.
  • Security: Integrates JWT-based security with predefined roles (ADMIN, USER).
  • Modern Stack: Supports Java 21+, Spring Boot 3.5.x, PostgreSQL, MapStruct, and OpenAPI documentation.
  • Use Case: When a user requests to "Create a new REST API for managing products with Spring Boot, including JWT authentication and a layered architecture," this Skill provides the entire project skeleton.

Quick Start

What is included in a Spring Boot project scaffold using a traditional layered architecture?

A traditional layered architecture scaffold includes controllers, services, repositories, domain entities, DTOs, and mappers. It also integrates JWT-based security, Jakarta validation, MapStruct for object mapping, and OpenAPI documentation.

Does this Spring Boot scaffolding tool support Java 21 and PostgreSQL?

Yes, the Spring Boot scaffolding supports Java 21+ and PostgreSQL. It targets Spring Boot 3.5.x, ensuring compatibility with modern Java features and robust database connectivity through JPA.

Can I generate DTOs and mappers automatically when creating a new REST API project?

Yes, DTOs and mappers are generated automatically when creating a REST API project. The scaffold uses MapStruct for mapping between domain entities and DTOs, reducing boilerplate code for data transfer.

How do I add OpenAPI documentation to a Spring Boot 3.5 REST API scaffold?

OpenAPI documentation is integrated automatically into the Spring Boot 3.5 REST API scaffold. This provides API specification and interface documentation out of the box without requiring manual configuration.
