Requirements

1. Java - 1.8.x

2. Maven - 3.x.x

3. MongoDB - 3.x.x

Steps to Setup

1. Clone the application

git clone https://github.com/callicoder/spring-webflux-reactive-rest-api-demo.git

2. Build and run the app using maven

cd spring-webflux-reactive-rest-api-demo
mvn package
java -jar target/webflux-demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

Alternatively, you can run the app without packaging it using -

mvn spring-boot:run

The server will start at http://localhost:8080.

Exploring the Rest APIs

The application defines following REST APIs

1. GET /tweets - Get All Tweets

2. POST /tweets - Create a new Tweet

3. GET /tweets/{id} - Retrieve a Tweet by Id

3. PUT /tweets/{id} - Update a Tweet

4. DELETE /tweets/{id} - Delete a Tweet

4. GET /stream/tweets - Stream tweets to a browser as Server-Sent Events

Running integration tests

The project also contains integration tests for all the Rest APIs. For running the integration tests, go to the root directory of the project and type mvn test in your terminal.
