  1. Challenge

    Create the Post Repository and Save Data

    Create the Post Repository interface and use it to save data to the database.

    Before starting on the tasks, you can run the project by entering mvn spring-boot:run in the terminal or by pressing the Run button underneath the terminal. Once the app is running, go to localhost:8080 in the browser and you should see:

    {
      "_links" : {
        "profile" : {
          "href" : "http://localhost:8080/profile"
        }
      }
    }
    

    Note: While in the terminal use ctrl+c to stop the app before checking off the tasks because it will interfere with the tests. ### Solution The solution can be found in the solution directory.

    Versioning and Validation

    In this module we'll add versions to the entities and to the API. We'll also add validation.
