== How to run

You can choose to the Spring Boot CLi version of this sample:

. Install Spring Boot CLI

. spring jar app.jar sample.groovy && java -jar app.jar 

. In another shell, use curl to interrogate the service

Or you can check out the Spring Boot Java-based version:

. mvn clean spring-boot:run

Either of these options will let you poke around with a simple example of Spring Data REST.

== What you'll see

----

$ curl localhost:8080/persons

----

It will yield:

[source,javascript]

----

{

  "_embedded" : {

    "persons" : [ {

      "firstName" : "Frodo",

      "lastName" : "Baggins",

      "addresses" : [ {

        "street" : "Bag End",

        "state" : "The Shire",

        "country" : "Middle Earth"

      }, {

        "street" : "The Undying Lands",

        "state" : "Ships",

        "country" : "Elven Lands"

      } ],

      "_links" : {

        "self" : {

          "href" : "http://localhost:8080/persons/1{?projection}",

          "templated" : true

        },

        "addresses" : {

          "href" : "http://localhost:8080/persons/1/addresses"

        }

      }

    } ]

  }

}

----

This shows an excerpt projection being applied. It causes the address resources to get inlined. You can still navigate to that collection.

----

$ curl localhost:8080/persons/1/addresses

----

This will show links for each address:

[source,javascript]

----

{

  "_embedded" : {

    "addresses" : [ {

      "street" : "Bag End",

      "state" : "The Shire",

      "country" : "Middle Earth",

      "_links" : {

        "self" : {

          "href" : "http://localhost:8080/addresses/1"

        }

      }

    }, {

      "street" : "The Undying Lands",

      "state" : "Ships",

      "country" : "Elven Lands",

      "_links" : {

        "self" : {

          "href" : "http://localhost:8080/addresses/2"

        }

      }

    } ]

  }

}
