Spring Modulith allows developers to build well-structured Spring Boot applications and guides developers in finding and working with link:{docs}#fundamentals.modules.application-modules[application modules] driven by the domain.
It supports the link:{docs}#verification[verification] of such modular arrangements, link:{docs}#testing[integration testing] individual modules, link:{docs}#observability[observing] the application's behavior on the module level and creating link:{docs}#documentation[documentation snippets] based on the arrangement created.
== Quickstart
. Create a Spring Boot application on https://start.spring.io
. Add Spring Modulith to your application by adding this to your pom.xml:
+
[source, xml]
spring-snapshots
https://repo.spring.io/snapshot
org.springframework.modulith
spring-modulith-bom
1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
import
pom
org.springframework.modulith
spring-modulith-starter-test
test
. Create a Java package arrangement that puts business modules as link:{docs}#fundamentals[direct sub-packages of the application's main package].
+
[source, text, subs="macros"]
□ Example
└─ □ src/main/java
├─ □ example <1>
| └─ Application.java
├─ □ example.inventory <2>
| └─ …
└─ □ example.order <2>
└─ …
<1> The application root package
<2> Application module packages
. Create link:{docs}#fundamentals.modules.application-modules[an `ApplicationModules` model], run link:{docs}#verification[verifications] and link:{docs}#documentation[create documentation snippets].
+
[source, java]
----
class ApplicationTests {
@Test
void writeDocumentationSnippets() {
var modules = ApplicationModules.of(Application.class).verify(); <1>
new Documenter(modules) <2>
.writeModulesAsPlantUml()
.writeIndividualModulesAsPlantUml();
}
}
----
<1> Creates application module model and link:{docs}#verification[verifies its structure].
<2> Renders link:{docs}#documentation[Asciidoctor snippets] (component diagrams, application module canvas) to `target/modulith-docs`.
. Run link:{docs}#testing[integration tests] for individual application modules.
