How to Use

Complete example of this starter implementation on MVC and Reactive backend could be found here

For any generic component you want to register, just apply @GenericComponent annotation bind on your class definition and set parameter type class you want to implement in order.

@GenericComponent(typeParameters = {Book.class, Integer.class})
@GenericComponent(typeParameters = {Profile.class, Integer.class})
public class BasicEntityCrudService<T, ID>{
    // Content omitted
}

Next for any generic REST controller you want to implement just apply @GenericRestController then set your parameter type like in @GenericComponent but this time you also add endpoint path prefix to use.

@GenericRestController(typeParameters = {Book.class, Integer.class}, path = "/api/book")
@GenericRestController(typeParameters = {Profile.class, Integer.class}, path = "/api/profile")
public class CrudController<T, ID>{
    // Handler function and content omitted
}
