Java Spring generator

Use your AsyncAPI definition to generate java code to subscribe and publish messages

Usage

AsyncAPI definitions

To have correctly generated code, your AsyncAPI file MUST define operationId for every operation.

In order for the generator to know what names to use for some parameters it's necessary to make use of AsyncAPI specification bindings.

• Complete example for Kafka is here. Notice information about binding.

  channels:
    event.lighting.measured:
      publish:
        bindings:
          kafka:
            groupId: my-group
        message:
          $ref: '#/components/messages/lightMeasured'
      subscribe:
        message:
          $ref: '#/components/messages/lightMeasured'

• Complete example for MQTT is here.

From the command-line interface (CLI)

  Usage: ag [options] <asyncapi> @asyncapi/java-spring-template

  Options:

    -V, --version                 output the version number
    -o, --output <outputDir>       directory where to put the generated files (defaults to current directory)
    -p, --param <name=value>       additional param to pass to templates
    -h, --help                    output usage information

Supported parameters

Name	Description	Required	Default
disableEqualsHashCode	Disable generation of equals and hashCode methods for model classes.	No	false
inverseOperations	Generate an application that will publish messages to publish operation of channels and read messages from subscribe operation of channels. Literally this flag will simply swap publish and subscribe operations in the channels. This flag will be useful when you want to generate a code of mock for your main application. Be aware, generation could be incomplete and manual changes will be required e.g. if bindings are defined only for case of main application.	No	false
javaPackage	The Java package of the generated classes. Alternatively you can set the specification extension info.x-java-package. If both extension and parameter are used, parameter has more priority.	No	com.asyncapi
listenerPollTimeout	Only for Kafka. Timeout in ms to use when polling the consumer.	No	3000
listenerConcurrency	Only for Kafka. Number of threads to run in the listener containers.	No	3
addTypeInfoHeader	Only for Kafka. Add type information to message header.	No	true
connectionTimeout	Only for MQTT. This value, measured in seconds, defines the maximum time interval the client will wait for the network connection to the MQTT server to be established. The default timeout is 30 seconds. A value of 0 disables timeout processing meaning the client will wait until the network connection is made successfully or fails.	No	30
disconnectionTimeout	Only for MQTT. The completion timeout in milliseconds when disconnecting. The default disconnect completion timeout is 5000 milliseconds.	No	5000
completionTimeout	Only for MQTT. The completion timeout in milliseconds for operations. The default completion timeout is 30000 milliseconds.	No	30000
asyncapiFileDir	Path where original AsyncAPI file will be stored.	No	src/main/resources/api/

Examples

The shortest possible syntax:

ag asyncapi.yaml @asyncapi/java-spring-template

Specify where to put the result and define poll timeout:

ag -o ./src asyncapi.yaml -p listenerPollTimeout=5000 @asyncapi/java-spring-template

If you don't have the AsyncAPI Generator installed, you can install it like this:

npm install -g @asyncapi/generator

Development

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/asyncapi/java-spring-template
   cd java-spring-template
   

2. Make sure template has all the dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Install AsyncAPI Generator:

   npm install -g @asyncapi/generator
   

4. Run generation:

   # for MQTT protocol test with below
   ag tests/mocks/mqtt.yml ./ --output output
   # for Kafka protocol test with below
   ag tests/mocks/kafka.yml ./ --output output

5. Explore generated files in output directory

For local development, you need different variations of this command. First of all, you need to know about three important CLI flags:

• --debug enables the debug mode.
• --watch-template enables a watcher of changes that you make in the template. It regenerates your template whenever it detects a change.
• --install enforces reinstallation of the template.

Run it

Go to the root folder of the generated code and run this command (you need the JDK1.8):

./gradlew bootRun

Generated source contains RabbitMQ docker-compose. So you could use it to test amqp with:

docker-compose -f src/main/docker/rabbitmq.yml up -d

Missing features

See the list of features that are still missing in the component:

• support of Kafka is done based on clear "spring-kafka" library without integration like for mqtt or amqp
• generated code for protocol amqp could be out of date. Please have a look to application.yaml and AmqpConfig.java
• tests for protocol amqp are not provided
• add annotation to the model generation. Consider "@Valid", "@JsonProperty", "@Size", "@NotNull" e.t.c.
• parameters for topics are not supported
• server variables are not entirely supported
• security schemas are not supported
• traits are not supported
• Json serializer/deserializer is used always, without taking into account real content type
• client side generation mode (in general just flip subscribe and publish channels)
• template generation of docker-compose depending on protocol of server, now the rabbitmq is hardcoded
