Kotlin version of the Spring PetClinic Sample Application

This is a Kotlin version of the spring-petclinic Application.

Technologies used

Language: Kotlin
Core framework: Spring Boot 3 with Spring Framework 6 Kotlin support
Server: Apache Tomcat
Web framework: Spring MVC
Templates: Thymeleaf and Bootstrap 5
Persistence : Spring Data JPA
Databases: H2 and MySQL both supported
Build: Gradle Script with the Kotlin DSL
Testing: Junit 5, Mockito and AssertJ

Running petclinic locally

With gradle command line

git clone https://github.com/spring-petclinic/spring-petclinic-kotlin.git
cd spring-petclinic-kotlin
./gradlew bootRun

With Docker

docker run -p 8080:8080 springcommunity/spring-petclinic-kotlin

You can then access petclinic here: http://localhost:8080/

Database configuration

In its default configuration, Petclinic uses an in-memory database (H2) which gets populated at startup with data. The h2 console is automatically exposed at http://localhost:8080/h2-console and it is possible to inspect the content of the database using the jdbc:h2:mem:{uuid} url (the uuid param could be find in the startup logs).

A similar setup is provided for MySql in case a persistent database configuration is needed. Note that whenever the database type is changed, the data-access.properties file needs to be updated and the mysql-connector-java artifact from the pom.xml needs to be uncommented.

You could start a MySql database with docker:

docker run -e MYSQL_USER=petclinic -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=petclinic -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root -e MYSQL_DATABASE=petclinic -p 3306:3306 mysql:5.7.8

Publishing a Docker image

This application uses Google Jib to build an optimized Docker image into the Docker Hub repository. The build.gradle.kts has been configured to publish the image with a the springcommunity/spring-petclinic-kotlin image name.

Build and push the container image of Petclinic to the Docker Hub registry:

gradle jib -Djib.to.auth.username=<username> -Djib.to.auth.password=<password>

Interesting Spring Petclinic forks

The Spring Petclinic master branch in the main spring-projects GitHub org is the "canonical" implementation, currently based on Spring Boot and Thymeleaf.

This [spring-petclinic-kotlin][] project is one of the several forks hosted in a special GitHub org: spring-petclinic. If you have a special interest in a different technology stack that could be used to implement the Pet Clinic then please join the community there.

Interaction with other open source projects

One of the best parts about working on the Spring Petclinic application is that we have the opportunity to work in direct contact with many Open Source projects. We found some bugs/suggested improvements on various topics such as Spring, Spring Data, Bean Validation and even Eclipse! In many cases, they've been fixed/implemented in just a few days. Here is a list of them:

Name	Issue
Spring JDBC: simplify usage of NamedParameterJdbcTemplate	SPR-10256 and SPR-10257
Bean Validation / Hibernate Validator: simplify Maven dependencies and backward compatibility	HV-790 and HV-792
Spring Data: provide more flexibility when working with JPQL queries	DATAJPA-292
