Micronaut version 1.1 RC2 is the latest as of writing this post. One of my previous post describes how to create a service in Micronaut. That post was created using version 1.0.5. I was pleasantly surprised to see JUnit 5 as the default test framework for Java…
In my previous post we saw how to create a service using micronaut CLI. When you create an application/project using the CLI command mn, the preferences you entered are saved in a file named 'micronaut-cli.yml', which can be found at the project top level directory. Let's take a…
Micronaut is a framework on JVM to develop microservices and serverless (FaaS) based applications. Micronaut support Java, Groovy and Kotlin languages. Let's quickly get our hands wet with creating a service using Micronaut. Installing Micronaut CLIIf you are are on a *nix platform and not using SDKMAN, I highly recommend…
In my previous post, we saw how languages with higher order functions make the implementation of Command Pattern very trivial. With a slight modification, we can achieve the Execute Around pattern. Suppose we have two types of transactions (atomic operations). Let's represent them using closures transactionOne and transactionTwo respectively. Now…
Command Pattern is one of the design patterns published in the GoF book. Command pattern is essentially encapsulating various types of request under a unified interface. The goal here is to minimise the coupling between executor and the client, with the system retaining the ability to evolve with new commands.…
Suppose we have a list of numbers. def numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, -1] We are asked to do the following Find out all the even numbers in the listFind out all the numbers divisible by 3Find out all the negative numbers in the listLet's write a function…
One of the important characteristics of Groovy closure is that they are first class - closures can be passed as arguments to other closures and functions. More details on higher order functions in this post.Suppose you have a piece of functionality available as a method and you want to…
In my previous posts, I talked about collect, findAll and inject methods. Most of the time these methods get used together. Let's take an example. Suppose we want find the sum of squares of even numbers in a list of numbers. One of the approaches we can take here is…
Consider the following closure sum and it's use in inject method. def numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] def sum = { number1, number2 -> number1 + number2 } println numbers.inject(0, sum) // 28 If you are not familiar with Groovy closures, this post has the details.In the above…
One of the common tasks in programming is to generate a summary from a collection of data. To make the concept easy for understanding, consider the following list of numbers. def numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] Suppose we want to find the sum of number in the…
