Project Modules

There are no modules declared in this project.

🧹 FeGen for Spring Boot

FeGen generates frontend code based on your Spring backend, so you can consume your Spring Data REST API in a type safe manner. Typescript and Kotlin are supported as frontend languages, so FeGen helps you create a web app, a native Android app or another Spring application.

If you are new to FeGen, have a look at the Documentation.

An example project demonstrating the usage of FeGen can be found in the git submodule fegen-examples.

Features

FeGen plugins are available for Gradle as well as Maven. Code generated by FeGen enables you to access the following Spring features:

• Call CRUD operations on JpaRepositorys while using pagination and sorting
• Fetch multiple related entities in one API call using projections
• Use repository- as well as custom searches to only access entities matching certain criteria
• Call custom endpoints

Code can be generated for the following target platforms:

• Typescript (To be used in e.g. a React app)
• Kotlin
  • Inter service (To be used in another Spring application)
  • Android

Limitations / Roadmap

FeGen currently has some limitations such as the following which may be lifted in future versions:

• Embeddables can be used, but they may only contain primitive types since references to other entities are not yet supported
• A plugin for Swift (to use in iOS apps) exists, but is not yet publicly released
• Generating code for API endpoints used to up- or download files is not supported
• There are some tests for the generated code, however, currently no CI/CD pipeline exists

Building FeGen

The source code of FeGen is split into two gradle subprojects that correspond to the frontend languages that code can be generated for. Additionally, fegen-core contains the code that is independent of the target language. Each of these directories contain two sub projects that contain code that is specific to maven and gradle respectively.
