Get started quickly with Spring 5 using Spring MVC Archetype

By

Spring 5 GA got released so I released the new version of Spring MVC Archetype.

Create a project

To create a really basic application using the archetype simply run the following command in your shell:

    mvn archetype:generate \
        -DarchetypeGroupId=pl.codeleak \
        -DarchetypeArtifactId=spring-mvc-quickstart \
        -DarchetypeVersion=5.0.0 \
        -DgroupId=my.groupid \
        -DartifactId=my-artifactId \
        -Dversion=version \
        -DarchetypeRepository=http://kolorobot.github.io/spring-mvc-quickstart-archetype

Changes

Spring IO Platform

Since I am using the Spring IO Platform (Brussels-SR5) in my archetype, I needed to manually override Spring version to 5.0.0.RELEASE:

<spring.version>5.0.0.RELEASE</spring.version>

Spring MVC

Spring MVC is built against different version of Jackson, hence Jackson version is overridden as well:

<jackson.version>2.9.1</jackson.version>

Thymeleaf

Thymeleaf 3 Support for Spring 5 did not go GA yet, but there is a release candidate in Maven Central that can be used:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.thymeleaf</groupId>
    <artifactId>thymeleaf-spring5</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.7.RC1</version>
</dependency>

Parameterized tests in JavaScript with Jest

By
Parameterized tests are used to test the same code under different conditions. One can set up a test method that retrieves data from a data source. This data source can be a collection of objects, external file or maybe even a database. The general idea is to make it easy to test different conditions with the same test method to avoid duplication and make the code easier to read and maintain. Jest has a built-in support for tests parameterized with data table that can be provided either by an array of arrays or as tagged template literal .
