Below is a list of milestones for the Level 7 project. Each will likely take more than one class to complete, but they are divided based on topic

What is this all about? Here you will present some background material on the project, APIs, and RESTful web services.

The structure of a Spring Boot application. We'll discuss the 3-tier architecture, as well as a couple special files that are important to our application.

Time to start writing code. We'll talk about Controller classes, Swagger, and how to return custom HTTP response codes when needed.

Here we will add a new controller class that will map a request URL to the method that we want to execute when a request is sent there.

Our service layer class will be called by the controller layer when a request comes in. We will add a new class to contain all of our application's business logic

Our endpoint's journey through the layers of application will end here, at the repository layer. Eventually we will use the repository layer to retrieve data for our application, but for now lets just get it added.

Time to request some actual data to give to our users. Using the WebClient class, we will retrieve information from an external service.

We are going to create a custom Java object in which to receive the response from our WebClient request. Then, we can improve the quality of our application's results by removing unnecessary fields, and renaming them if need be.

Now let's begin adding unit tests in order to verify our code is working as expected in an easily repeatable way. We'll start with the easiest class in our application to test: the HomeController.

Continuing with unit testing, we will add unit tests for our other controller class, as well as our service class.

Our final unit test will be the most complex. Here we will unit test our repository class, which includes mocking our WebClient request and the associated classes.

Here we will start discussing integration testing, and make some changes to our project to prepare for our new tests.

Time to add our first integration test. We will go over the basics by adding a test for our HomeController class.

In the final section of our project, we will add an integration test for our LocController class. This includes discussing how we are able to supply a mock, and verify the response from the request is what we expect

Our completed application provides users with pristine data, but as humans we usually interact with web applications through a convenient graphical user interface, known as a website. While creating a front end application is not within the scope of this level, teachers can utilize a convenient template to create a React application that is capable of displaying information returned from our application. This demonstrates how it can all come together to form a modern, human-friendly set of web applications that provide, as well as display, information.
