GitHub - spring-projects/spring-data-rest: Simplifies building hypermedia-driven REST web services on top of Spring Data repositories

@CrossOrigin
@RepositoryRestResource(path = "people")
public interface PersonRepository extends CrudRepository<Person, Long> {

  List<Person> findByLastname(String lastname);

  @RestResource(path = "byFirstname")
  List<Person> findByFirstnameLike(String firstname);
}

@Configuration
@EnableMongoRepositories
class ApplicationConfig extends AbstractMongoConfiguration {

  @Override
  public MongoClient mongoClient() {
    return new MongoClient();
  }

  @Override
  protected String getDatabaseName() {
    return "springdata";
  }
}

curl -v "http://localhost:8080/people/search/byFirstname?firstname=Oliver*&sort=name,desc"

Maven configuration

Add the Maven dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-data-rest</artifactId>
  <version>${version}.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

If you’d rather like the latest snapshots of the upcoming major version, use our Maven snapshot repository and declare the appropriate dependency version.

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-data-rest</artifactId>
  <version>${version}-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

<repository>
  <id>spring-snapshot</id>
  <name>Spring Snapshot Repository</name>
  <url>https://repo.spring.io/snapshot</url>
</repository>

• Before you log a bug, please search the issue tracker to see if someone has already reported the problem.

• If the issue doesn’t already exist, create a new issue.

• Please provide as much information as possible with the issue report, we like to know the version of Spring Data that you are using and JVM version.

• If you need to paste code, or include a stack trace use GitHub’s flavor of Markdown and wrap your code with triple-backquotes.

• If possible try to create a test-case or project that replicates the issue. Attach a link to your code or a compressed file containing your code.

Building reference documentation

Building the documentation builds also the project without running tests.

 $ ./mvnw clean install -Pantora

The generated documentation is available from target/site/reference/html/index.html.
