We'll use Spring Boot, Spring Data JPA, and H2 Database for this example. This can be adapted for
MySQL or any other database in production.
Project Setup
1. Spring Boot Dependencies: Add the necessary dependencies in your pom.xml or build.gradle
file.
xml
Copy code
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
<artifactId>h2</artifactId>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-validation</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
2. Spring Boot Application Class: Create a class to run the Spring Boot application.
java
Copy code
package com.jobportal;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication
SpringApplication.run(JobPortalApplication.class, args);
Model Classes
We'll need a few entities to represent the jobs and job applications.
1. Job Entity:
java
Copy code
package com.jobportal.model;
import javax.persistence.*;
import javax.validation.constraints.NotNull;
@Entity
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@NotNull
@NotNull
2. JobApplication Entity:
java
Copy code
package com.jobportal.model;
import javax.persistence.*;
import javax.validation.constraints.NotNull;
@Entity
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@NotNull
private String name;
@NotNull
@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "job_id")
Repositories
Spring Data JPA provides an easy way to interact with the database.
1. Job Repository:
java
Copy code
package com.jobportal.repository;
import com.jobportal.model.Job;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
2. JobApplication Repository:
java
Copy code
package com.jobportal.repository;
import com.jobportal.model.JobApplication;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
Services
1. JobService:
java
Copy code
package com.jobportal.service;
import com.jobportal.model.Job;
import com.jobportal.repository.JobRepository;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Optional;
@Service
@Autowired
return jobRepository.findAll();
}
public Optional<Job> getJobById(Long id) {
return jobRepository.findById(id);
return jobRepository.save(job);
return jobRepository.save(job);
jobRepository.deleteById(id);
2. JobApplicationService:
java
Copy code
package com.jobportal.service;
import com.jobportal.model.JobApplication;
import com.jobportal.repository.JobApplicationRepository;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Optional;
@Service
return jobApplicationRepository.findAll();
return jobApplicationRepository.findById(id);
return jobApplicationRepository.save(jobApplication);
return jobApplicationRepository.save(jobApplication);
jobApplicationRepository.deleteById(id);
Controllers
1. JobController:
java
Copy code
package com.jobportal.controller;
import com.jobportal.model.Job;
import com.jobportal.service.JobService;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Optional;
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/jobs")
@Autowired
@GetMapping
return jobService.getAllJobs();
@GetMapping("/{id}")
@PostMapping
return jobService.createJob(job);
}
@PutMapping("/{id}")
job.setId(id);
return ResponseEntity.ok(updatedJob);
@DeleteMapping("/{id}")
jobService.deleteJob(id);
return ResponseEntity.noContent().build();
2. JobApplicationController:
java
Copy code
package com.jobportal.controller;
import com.jobportal.model.JobApplication;
import com.jobportal.service.JobApplicationService;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Optional;
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/applications")
@GetMapping
return jobApplicationService.getAllApplications();
@GetMapping("/{id}")
@PostMapping
return jobApplicationService.createApplication(jobApplication);
@PutMapping("/{id}")
jobApplication.setId(id);
return ResponseEntity.ok(updatedApplication);
@DeleteMapping("/{id}")
jobApplicationService.deleteApplication(id);
return ResponseEntity.noContent().build();
For development, you can use H2 database to test the application. In your application.properties,
add the following configuration:
properties
Copy code
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:testdb
spring.datasource.driverClassName=org.h2.Driver
spring.datasource.username=sa
spring.datasource.password=password
spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect
spring.h2.console.enabled=true
Final Notes
You can use JWT Authentication or Basic Authentication if you want to secure the
endpoints.
You can replace the H2 Database with MySQL or PostgreSQL if needed for production.
You can customize the controllers and services further based on your specific business logic
(e.g., sending email notifications upon job application, etc.).
This should provide you with the basic backend setup for the job portal, which works in tandem with
your frontend React app.

Now, let's incorporate Lombok into the code for entities, DTOs, and other necessary classes.
Job.java
java
Copy code
package com.app.entities;
import lombok.AllArgsConstructor;
import lombok.Builder;
import lombok.Data;
import lombok.NoArgsConstructor;
import javax.persistence.*;
@Entity
@Data
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
@Builder
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
JobApplication.java
java
Copy code
package com.app.entities;
import lombok.AllArgsConstructor;
import lombok.Builder;
import lombok.Data;
import lombok.NoArgsConstructor;
import javax.persistence.*;
@Entity
@Data
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
@Builder
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
JobApplicationDto.java
java
Copy code
package com.app.dto;
import lombok.Data;
@Data
Here, we used the @Data annotation from Lombok to automatically generate getters, setters,
toString(), equals(), and hashCode() methods.
Although in service classes, we don't generally need Lombok as much, we can still use @Slf4j for
logging (optional).
For now, no additional Lombok annotations are necessary in the JobService.java, since it's already
minimal.
JobController.java
java
Copy code
package com.app.controller;
import com.app.dto.JobApplicationDto;
import com.app.entities.Job;
import com.app.service.JobService;
import lombok.RequiredArgsConstructor;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;
import java.util.List;
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/jobs")
@RequiredArgsConstructor
@GetMapping
return jobService.getAllJobs();
@PostMapping("/apply")
jobService.applyForJob(applicationDto);
@PutMapping("/update/{id}")
jobService.updateJobApplication(id, applicationDto);
@DeleteMapping("/delete/{id}")
jobService.deleteJobApplication(id);
}
In this JobController class, I used Lombok's @RequiredArgsConstructor annotation, which
automatically generates a constructor with the required fields (marked with final). This is a better
practice for dependency injection and makes the code cleaner.
In this case, there’s no need to change the exception handling code. Lombok can be used to reduce
boilerplate in exception classes, but it's not necessary here. You can use it in exception classes if you
want to generate constructors easily.
CustomExceptionHandler.java
Security
No changes required here because Spring Security classes are mostly configuration-driven and do not
involve much boilerplate code. However, if you plan to create custom UserDetails or User entities,
Lombok can be applied there.
Final Thoughts:
Lombok is now integrated into your Spring Boot backend to reduce boilerplate code in
entities, DTOs, and controllers.
This setup ensures that your application is more concise, while still maintaining readability and
functionality. Lombok significantly helps reduce code clutter, especially in larger applications with
many entities or DTOs.

This implementation should align with your frontend React application. Let me know if you need
further adjustments!
MAKING PAGE DYNAMIC
use axios
ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT
To make the pages dynamic by fetching data from an API using Axios, you'll need to:
1. Install Axios.
Here’s how you can modify each of your components to make them dynamic:
1. Install Axios
First, you need to install Axios in your project if you haven't already:
bash
Copy code
In the Job component, you need to fetch the job data dynamically. We will assume that your backend
has an endpoint like /api/jobs.
js
Copy code
};
return (
<Bookmark />
</Button>
</div>
<Avatar>
</Avatar>
</Button>
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
{job.positions} Positions
</Badge>
{job.jobType}
</Badge>
{job.salary}
</Badge>
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
};
Update the Jobs component to fetch the list of jobs using Axios:
js
Copy code
useEffect(() => {
axios.get('/api/jobs')
.then(response => {
setJobs(response.data);
setLoading(false);
})
.catch(err => {
setLoading(false);
});
}, []);
return (
<div>
<Navbar />
<div className="w-1/5">
<FilterCard />
</div>
<div className="flex-1 h-[88vh] overflow-y-auto pb-5">
{jobs.length < 1 ? (
):(
jobs.map((job) => (
<div key={job.id}>
</div>
))
)}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
};
In the JobDescription component, you'll need to fetch the job details dynamically. If the job is passed
as a state (from the previous page), you don't need to fetch it. But if you want to load it directly from
the backend, you can use the job ID to fetch the details.
js
Copy code
useEffect(() => {
if (!singleJob) {
setLoading(true);
axios.get(`/api/jobs/${jobId}`)
.then(response => {
setJob(response.data);
setLoading(false);
})
.catch(err => {
setLoading(false);
// Handle error
});
}, [singleJob]);
setShowForm(true);
};
setShowForm(false);
};
const handleFormSubmit = (formData) => {
dispatch(setNewApplication(application));
setShowForm(false);
};
return (
<div>
{job.positions} Positions
</Badge>
{job.jobType}
</Badge>
{job.salary}
</Badge>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
{showForm && (
<JobApplicationForm
job={job}
onSubmit={handleFormSubmit}
onClose={handleCloseForm}
/>
)}
</div>
);
};
3. Summary
The state of the application updates dynamically when job data is fetched.
Components like Jobs and JobDescription now fetch data using Axios instead of relying on
static data.

First, you need to ensure that you have a working backend or a mock server that provides the
necessary API endpoints.
If you're using a real API, ensure that the following endpoints are available and functional:
If you're mocking the API, you can use tools like JSON Server or Mockoon to simulate these
API responses locally.
If you don't have a backend yet, you can quickly mock it with JSON Server.
bash
Copy code
json
Copy code
"jobs": [
"id": 1,
"companyLogo": "https://via.placeholder.com/50",
"positions": 3,
"jobType": "Full-Time",
"salary": "$70,000 - $90,000",
},
"id": 2,
"companyLogo": "https://via.placeholder.com/50",
"positions": 5,
"jobType": "Contract",
bash
Copy code
This will mock the API, and you can access http://localhost:5000/api/jobs and
http://localhost:5000/api/jobs/:id for your job listings and job details, respectively.
Make sure that your Axios requests are targeting the correct URLs. For example, if you're using a
mock server running locally on http://localhost:5000, update the URLs in your components
accordingly:
js
Copy code
axios.get('http://localhost:5000/jobs')
bash
Copy code
npm start
If you're using Vite or another React setup, use the respective start command.
Ensure that the list of jobs is fetched correctly from the API. You should see
job cards with the correct data (e.g., job title, company name, salary, etc.).
If there is an issue with fetching the data (e.g., API is not reachable), you
should see the "Loading..." message, and if there's an error, it should show
the error message.
Ensure that the job details are fetched and displayed correctly (e.g.,
description, location, etc.).
If you pass data from the previous page, the details should load without
making another API request.
o The job application form should appear, and you should be able to submit the form.
o Ensure that when you submit the form, the application data is sent correctly (you
can log the data or store it in state).
o Open the browser’s developer tools (F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I), go to the Network tab, and
check the API requests.
o Ensure that the requests to /api/jobs and /api/jobs/:id are being made and that they
return the expected results.
Empty Jobs List: Make sure that if there are no jobs returned by the API, the application
shows an appropriate message like "Job Not Found."
Error Handling: Test what happens when the API is down or there is a network issue. Ensure
your application handles errors gracefully by displaying an error message like "Failed to load
jobs."
API Response Delay: You can simulate a delay in the API (e.g., using setTimeout in the mock
server or adding a delay in the backend) to ensure that the loading state works correctly.
Job Save for Later: Ensure that the "Save For Later" button works as expected. If you’re
storing the saved jobs in state, verify that they persist when you navigate around the app.
Job Application Form Submission: After submitting the form, ensure that the data is logged
or handled as expected.
For more comprehensive testing, you can write unit tests using Jest and React Testing Library to
verify individual components like Job and JobDescription. This would help you catch bugs early
during development.
js
Copy code
const job = {
companyLogo: 'https://via.placeholder.com/50',
positions: 3,
jobType: 'Full-Time',
};
expect(titleElement).toBeInTheDocument();
});
