## 🚀 Features
- **One-to-One Relationships**: Manage single associations between entities.
- **One-to-Many Relationships**: Handle relationships where one entity maps to multiple entities.
- **Many-to-Many Relationships**: Map entities that have multiple associations with each other.
- **Bidirectional Relationships**: Manage two-way relationships between entities.
- **Inheritance Mappings**: Utilize inheritance strategies for entity hierarchies.
Explore the powerful features of this advanced mapping system:
### 1. **One-to-One Relationships**
Demonstrates how to create and manage one-to-one associations between entities.
### 2. **One-to-Many Relationships**
Illustrates the management of one-to-many relationships, where a single entity is related to multiple other entities.
### 3. **Many-to-Many Relationships**
Shows how to handle many-to-many associations, where entities are related to multiple other entities.
### 4. **Bidirectional Relationships**
Handles two-way relationships between entities, including how to manage and persist such relationships.
### 5. **Inheritance Mappings**
Demonstrates various inheritance strategies such as `Single Table`, `Table Per Class`, and `Joined` for entity hierarchies.
## 📖 Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:
- Java Development Kit (JDK) 11 or later
- Maven or Gradle installed
- MySQL or another supported relational database
- Your preferred IDE (e.g., IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse)
## ✨ Getting Started
### Step 1: Create a Spring Boot Project
You can use Spring Initializr to generate a basic Spring Boot project. Visit [start.spring.io](https://start.spring.io/) and configure your project with the following settings:
* Project: Maven Project
* Language: Java
* Spring Boot: Latest stable version
* Packaging: Jar
* Dependencies: Spring Web, Spring Data JPA, MySQL Driver
Click on "Generate" to download the project zip file.
### Step 2: Extract and Import into IDE
Extract the downloaded zip file and import the project into your preferred IDE (IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, etc.).
### Step 3: Define Entities
Create entity classes representing the data models and their relationships. For example, you might define `User`, `Order`, and `Product` classes with various relationships.
### Step 4: Create Repositories
Create repository interfaces for your entities to perform CRUD operations and manage relationships.
### Step 5: Create Services and Controllers
Implement services to handle business logic and controllers to manage HTTP requests and responses.
### Step 6: Configure Frontend (Optional)
If you need a user interface, you can create a simple frontend using Thymeleaf or another templating engine.
### Step 7: Run Your Application
Run your Spring Boot application. It will start a server at `http://localhost:8080`.
