How to Set Up Your Shop Application with Redis, Lombok, and MySQL

In this guide, we will take you through the process of setting up your shop application using Redis, Lombok, and MySQL. We will cover installation, configuration, and troubleshooting to ensure a smooth experience.

Prerequisites

• Docker (for Redis setup on Windows)
• IDEA or Eclipse (for Lombok)
• MySQL version 5.7

Step 1: Setting Up Redis

For running Redis smoothly on your system, especially for Windows users, Docker is the way to go. Here’s how you can do it:

• Install Docker from the official website.
• Run the following command in your terminal to pull the Redis image:

docker pull redis

• Once the Redis image is downloaded, start the server using:

docker run --name redis-server -d redis

Step 2: Configuring Lombok

Lombok is a library that helps you reduce boilerplate code in Java applications. To set it up in your IDE:

• For IDEA: Go to Preferences > Plugins > Marketplace, search for Lombok, and install it.
• For Eclipse: Download the Lombok jar from the official page and run it to integrate with Eclipse.

Step 3: Setting Up MySQL

Make sure you have MySQL version 5.7 installed. Create a new database for your shop application. Use the following SQL command:

CREATE DATABASE shop_db;

Step 4: Application Configuration

In your application, you’ll need to set the following configurations in the application.properties file:

server.port=8081
jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/shop_db
jdbc.username=admin
jdbc.password=admin123456

Step 5: Running the Application

To run your shop application, navigate to the main class:

com.vito16.shop.Application.main()

Once the application is running, you can access it at http://localhost:8081 and for admin login at http://localhost:8081/admin/login.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during setup or running the application, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Ensure Docker is running properly if Redis is not starting.
• Double-check the version of MySQL installed and make sure that the JDBC URL is configured correctly.
• If Lombok is not functioning, recheck the installation in your IDE and restart the IDE.
• If the server doesn’t start on port 8081, it could be because another service is using that port. Change it in application.properties.
