[Spring boot] A quick REST API Guide

Controller:

Code below shows a basic Controller to handle GET, POST; DELETE, PUT requests.

package hello.controller;

import hello.model.Shipwreck;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;

import java.util.List;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("api/v1/")
public class ShipController {
    @RequestMapping(value="shipwrecks", method= RequestMethod.GET)
    public List <Shipwreck>list() {
        return ShipwreckStub.list();
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = "shipwrecks", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public Shipwreck create(@RequestBody Shipwreck shipwreck) {
        return ShipwreckStub.create(shipwreck);
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="shipwrecks/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public Shipwreck get(@PathVariable long id) {
        return ShipwreckStub.get(id);
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="shipwrecks/{id}", method = RequestMethod.PUT)
    public Shipwreck update(@PathVariable long id, @RequestBody Shipwreck shipwreck) {
        return ShipwreckStub.update(id, shipwreck);
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="shipwrecks/{id}", method = RequestMethod.DELETE)
    public Shipwreck delete(@PathVariable long id) {
        return ShipwreckStub.delete(id);
    }
}

Model:

package hello.model;

public class Shipwreck {
    Long id;
    String name;
    String description;
    String condition;
    Integer depth;
    Double latitude;
    Double longitude;
    Integer yearDiscovered;

    public Shipwreck() { }

    public Shipwreck(Long id, String name, String description, String condition, Integer depth, Double latitude, Double longitude, Integer yearDiscovered) {
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.description = description;
        this.condition = condition;
        this.depth = depth;
        this.latitude = latitude;
        this.longitude = longitude;
        this.yearDiscovered = yearDiscovered;
    }

    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getDescription() {
        return description;
    }

    public void setDescription(String description) {
        this.description = description;
    }

    public String getCondition() {
        return condition;
    }

    public void setCondition(String condition) {
        this.condition = condition;
    }

    public Integer getDepth() {
        return depth;
    }

    public void setDepth(Integer depth) {
        this.depth = depth;
    }

    public Double getLatitude() {
        return latitude;
    }

    public void setLatitude(Double latitude) {
        this.latitude = latitude;
    }

    public Double getLongitude() {
        return longitude;
    }

    public void setLongitude(Double longitude) {
        this.longitude = longitude;
    }

    public Integer getYearDiscovered() {
        return yearDiscovered;
    }

    public void setYearDiscovered(Integer yearDiscovered) {
        this.yearDiscovered = yearDiscovered;
    }
}

Im memory data:

This is just a mock data.

package hello.controller;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

import hello.model.Shipwreck;
public class ShipwreckStub {
    private static Map<Long, Shipwreck> wrecks = new HashMap<Long, Shipwreck>();
    private static Long idIndex = 3L;

    //populate initial wrecks
    static {
        Shipwreck a = new Shipwreck(1L, "U869", "A very deep German UBoat", "FAIR", 200, 44.12, 138.44, 1994);
        wrecks.put(1L, a);
        Shipwreck b = new Shipwreck(2L, "Thistlegorm", "British merchant boat in the Red Sea", "GOOD", 80, 44.12, 138.44, 1994);
        wrecks.put(2L, b);
        Shipwreck c = new Shipwreck(3L, "S.S. Yongala", "A luxury passenger ship wrecked on the great barrier reef", "FAIR", 50, 44.12, 138.44, 1994);
        wrecks.put(3L, c);
    }

    public static List<Shipwreck> list() {
        return new ArrayList<Shipwreck>(wrecks.values());
    }

    public static Shipwreck create(Shipwreck wreck) {
        idIndex += idIndex;
        wreck.setId(idIndex);
        wrecks.put(idIndex, wreck);
        return wreck;
    }

    public static Shipwreck get(Long id) {
        return wrecks.get(id);
    }

    public static Shipwreck update(Long id, Shipwreck wreck) {
        wrecks.put(id, wreck);
        return wreck;
    }

    public static Shipwreck delete(Long id) {
        return wrecks.remove(id);
    }
}
