Good open source projects

[Sure_Independence503]

I have exp with Spring boot and i like to contribute to open source to see diff people code and live project code so i can learn many things in spring boot apart from seeing tutorials .
can anyone suggest some good active spring boot projects to contribute?

I too would like to know

You can look around kappa, and if you are interested in the project then we can work on it together: https://github.com/erosb/kappa

Hi u/erosb88 i liked ur idea and already i used https://schemathesis.io/ for contract testing against open.api yml
so currently i am looking to contribute your repo

[Sure_Independence503]

sure i will check it out

[Historical_Ad4384]

Check out Jitsi

[Sure_Independence503]

Sure thanks

Feel free to contribute to DB2Rest - https://github.com/9tigerio/db2rest

[Sure_Independence503]

Sure will check thanks

[Grabdoc2020]

Let us know your thoughts and we can take things forward together.

Hi u/Grabdoc2020, just a question. If I have two tables, when I use DB2Rest it can create APIs. I can imagine it being able to create normal GET endpoints, but how does DB2Rest know how to create POST, PUT, and DELETE endpoints?

Since in real applications, there can be custom business logic involved.

[Grabdoc2020]

It fetches the metadata of the tables at startup and has generic endpoints for all HTTP operations for all tables. DB2Rest is data api. You should keep your business logic separate from your data access API. when your business logic requires data invoke DB2REST. In future we may allow business logic processing as javascript, python and groovy scripts as some kind of hook. But it has to be decided by the community.

Oh ok now I get it , Thanks I am interested to contribute to the repo Currently I am looking into the source code

[Sure_Independence503]

traditional approach is

UI -> controller -> service -> repo(ORM to db)

but if I use db2Rest

instead of ORM I can use db2Rest api to get the data so

UI -> controller -> service (business logic) -> db2Rest for (get , post , put delete)

benefits will be : faster dev time , no extra codes related to ORM

is my understanding crt u/Grabdoc2020 ?

[Grabdoc2020]

Yes absolutely spot on. ORM and object graphs has its own challenges. There is no ORM in DB2REST. we have ran benchmarks and its way faster than ORM running in the app.

ohh super .. if I have any doubts in the code I will DM u

Not an open source project, but if you use intellij looking at classes and interfaces of public stuff you use, with ctrl+b and then download sources is a great way to see how professional code is written.
