Hacking Spring Boot Applications Using Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code started off as a lightweight editor and allows developers to work with source code - and people love it for its super fast performance, its lightweight nature, and its super smart code understanding. All this is now available for Java and Spring Boot, too. Installing the right extensions into VSCode results in a powerful and yet lightweight code editing experience that comes close to the feature richness of existing Java IDEs. In this session, we will show how you can use Visual Studio Code to implement Spring Boot applications. We will show which extensions to use and how they can be used, including: direct and super fast Spring Initializr support, Maven integration, support for Git, smart Java code editing, running JUnit tests directly from within the editor, debugging Java applications, and using the all-new Spring Tools 4 for Visual Studio Code to get a quick overview of your Spring code, use super fast navigation for Spring elements, understanding your app using live information from running Spring applications directly in your editor, and more. Watching this session will give you a detailed overview of what is possible (and what is not yet) when using Visual Studio Code as your premier development environment for Spring Boot applications.

I love the plugins for Spring and the java support from redhat. Add the capability of running remote containers and you have out-of-the-box portable java environment.

Great.. as a fullstack developer, it would be great to have a single IDE to do it all.

[@hailahong3021]

Mayur Dange ah. Intelij’s still the best. Support every single thing.

[@nasserabbassi7303]

@@hailahong3021 but it became too complicated

[@yashwinmunsadwala5718]

What about the line-by-line code coverage visualization in IDE?

[@zxfcat]

Great Editor!

[@hussamsoufi1825]

can one edit the spring boot app configuration environment variables in Visual Code?

[@im_ilya]

I can't say that it's really lightweight, it consumes 2 gigs of RAM with just hello world application open, maybe I installed too many extensions I don't really know..

[@mohsinazeemrind]

Thats because of too much extensions you installed

[@fabiancv90]

i can't see "Full-stack web development with Tomcat ans Spring MVC" someone can help me?

[@ohhhgggeeezzz]

I like this....

i'm doing a spring test application on vscode, but it gets this problem out when i inject my ContRepository that extends from JPARepository *************************** APPLICATION FAILED TO START *************************** Description: Field contRepository in com.angu.pring.anguspring.DemoApplication required a beanat could not be found. The injection point has the following annotations: - @org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)

[@hussamsoufi1825]

me too. have you happen to find an answer for that?

[@hussamsoufi1825]

to fix that you have to edit the config... can one edit the spring boot app configuration environment variables in Visual Code?

[@danteyeong1501]

i was so tired of intellij adding files to my projects

[@hailahong3021]

what's wrong with that? btw, you think vscode doesn't 😂
