Hey Guys! I would like to know how do You approach starting a new Spring Boot project? Also, when it comes to API, have you used Swagger before? Let me know what's Your take on this!

[@octioctivius1262]

I just copy everything from my previous project and remove stuff that I don't need 😂 I never heard of this swagger thing, it looks cool tho I have to check it! Great video, thanks!

I've also been there, I don't recommend it. It's a nightmare upgrading to newer versions of Spring or Java later instead of choosing latest in the first place. I'm happy to hear that You liked this video, glad to have You here! :D

I don't see what do you mean with using DTOs for that?

[@SoitioDev]

I mean we are returning Entity object directly into controller and also we are using it to return and accept data into our application. For this use case we should create a dedicated DTO class with for example all the fields from our entity. Then instead of returning result of findAll() method from our service we should map the data into this DTOs and return them. I hope that now It is clear :) Thanks!
