Spring Data + Couchbase codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the RealWorld spec and API.

This codebase was created to demonstrate a realworld backend application built with Spring Data Couchbase including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more. For more information on how to this works with other frontends/backends, head over to the RealWorld repo.

This Project requries Java 17, Maven, and a running Couchbase Server instance. See the Setup Couchbase section for more details.

This project needs a configured Couchbase configuration to run properly. There are different ways you can do it. Provide a properties file with the following content:

couchbase.connectionString=couchbase://localhost
couchbase.username=Administrator
couchbase.password=password
couchbase.defaultBucket=default
couchbase.defaultScope=_default

or make sure you have the following environment variables configured:

export COUCHBASE_CONNECTIONSTRING=couchbase://localhost
export COUCHBASE_USERNAME=Administrator
export COUCHBASE_PASSWORD=password
export COUCHBASE_DEFAULTBUCKET=default
export COUCHBASE_DEFAULTSCOPE=_default

To run the postman test, you need to setup the following environment variables:

APIURL=http://localhost:8080/api
USERNAME=username
EMAIL=useremail@domain.com
PASSWORD=userPass

1. Run mvn package in the project folder to build the project
2. Run java --add-opens java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED -jar target/*.jar
3. Run ./postman/run-api-tests.sh to run Postman collection tests

The reason we need to add the --add-opens java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED parameters can be found on this article: https://www.springcloud.io/post/2022-07/inaccessibleobjectexception/

There are multiple ways to create a Couchbase instance.

You can use our official Docker image by running docker run -d --name db -p 8091-8097:8091-8097 -p 9123:9123 -p 11207:11207 -p 11210:11210 -p 11280:11280 -p 18091-18097:18091-18097 couchbase Then you can go to http://localhost:8091 and start setting up your cluster. Take a look at the hub page for more details.
