Create Spring Boot Project: Step-by-Step Guide

To create a new Spring Boot project, you can follow the steps below:

1. Create a new Spring Boot project in an IDE such as Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA, which are commonly used Java development tools.
2. When creating a new project, choose Spring Initializr as the initial template for the project. Spring Initializr is an official tool that quickly creates Spring Boot projects, and can be used through a web interface or IDE plugin to create new projects.
3. Choose the basic information of the project in Spring Initializr, such as project name, package name, project type, etc.
4. Choose the dependencies for your project. Spring Initializr provides some common Spring Boot dependency options such as Spring Web, Spring Data JPA, and Spring Security. Select the dependencies needed based on the project requirements.
5. When you click on “Generate Project”, Spring Initializr will create a basic Spring Boot project structure for you.
6. Open the newly generated project and start writing code. Create a startup class in the src/main/java directory, and add the @SpringBootApplication annotation to start the Spring Boot application.
7. Write business code and configuration files, adding the corresponding Controller, Service, Repository classes based on project requirements.
8. To run the project, you can start it either by clicking on the run button in the IDE or by using the command line.

With the above steps, you can create a new Spring Boot project and start developing. During the development process, you can add other dependencies and functionalities according to project requirements, gradually improving the project.
