To those who follow this blog it’s no wonder that I tend to use InfluxDB a lot. I like the fact that it is a real single purpose database (time series) with many features and also comes with enterprise support.

Spring is also one of the tools of my choice. Thus in this blog we shall integrate spring with micrometer and InfluxDB.

Our application will be a rest api for jobs. Initially it will fetch the Jobs from Github’s job api as shown here.

Let’s start with a pom

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

   </dependencies>
</project>

Let’s add the Job Repository for GitHub.

package com.gkatzioura.jobs.repository;
 
import java.util.List;
 
import org.springframework.http.HttpMethod;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import org.springframework.web.reactive.function.client.WebClient;
 
import com.gkatzioura.jobs.model.Job;
 
import reactor.core.publisher.Mono;
 
@Repository
public class GitHubJobRepository {
 
    private WebClient githubClient;
 
    public GitHubJobRepository() {
        this.githubClient = WebClient.create("https://jobs.github.com");
    }
 
    public Mono<List<Job>> getJobsFromPage(int page) {
 
        return githubClient.method(HttpMethod.GET)
                           .uri("/positions.json?page=" + page)
                           .retrieve()
                           .bodyToFlux(Job.class)
                           .collectList();
    }
 
}

The Job model

package com.gkatzioura.jobs.model;
 
import lombok.Data;
 
@Data
public class Job {
 
    private String id;
    private String type;
    private String url;
    private String createdAt;
    private String company;
    private String companyUrl;
    private String location;
    private String title;
    private String description;
 
}

The controller

package com.gkatzioura.jobs.controller;
 
import java.util.List;
 
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
 
import com.gkatzioura.jobs.model.Job;
import com.gkatzioura.jobs.repository.GitHubJobRepository;
 
import reactor.core.publisher.Mono;
 
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/jobs")
public class JobsController {
 
    private final GitHubJobRepository gitHubJobRepository;
 
    public JobsController(GitHubJobRepository gitHubJobRepository) {
        this.gitHubJobRepository = gitHubJobRepository;
    }
 
    @GetMapping("/github/{page}")
    private Mono<List<Job>> getEmployeeById(@PathVariable int page) {
        return gitHubJobRepository.getJobsFromPage(page);
    }
 
}

And last but not least the main application.

package com.gkatzioura;
 
 
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.reactive.ReactiveSecurityAutoConfiguration;
 
@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = {
        ReactiveSecurityAutoConfiguration.class
})
public class Application {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

On the next blog we are going to integrate with InfluxDB and micrometer.
