Spring MVC - Sample Project For Finding Doctors Online with MySQL

Spring MVC - Sample Project For Finding Doctors Online with MySQL

Building a sample project for finding doctors online involves several steps. In this outline, I'll provide a broad overview of what's needed, and then delve into some specifics to get you started.

1. Project Setup:

  • Use Spring Boot for easy setup. Initialize your project using the Spring Initializr.

  • Dependencies to include: Web, Thymeleaf (for templating), JPA (for database operations), and MySQL.

2. Database Setup:

  • Create a database called doctors_db in MySQL.

  • Create a table called doctors with the following fields:

    • id (primary key)
    • name
    • specialization
    • location
    • rating
    • availability

3. Spring Configuration:

In application.properties:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/doctors_db spring.datasource.username=your_username spring.datasource.password=your_password spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update

4. Create Entity, Repository, Service, and Controller layers:

Entity:

@Entity public class Doctor { @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY) private Long id; private String name; private String specialization; private String location; private Double rating; private Boolean availability; // getters, setters, constructors... }

Repository:

public interface DoctorRepository extends JpaRepository<Doctor, Long> { List<Doctor> findByLocationAndSpecialization(String location, String specialization); }

Service:

@Service public class DoctorService { @Autowired private DoctorRepository doctorRepository; public List<Doctor> findDoctors(String location, String specialization) { return doctorRepository.findByLocationAndSpecialization(location, specialization); } }

Controller:

@Controller @RequestMapping("/doctors") public class DoctorController { @Autowired private DoctorService doctorService; @GetMapping("/search") public String searchDoctors(@RequestParam String location, @RequestParam String specialization, Model model) { List<Doctor> doctors = doctorService.findDoctors(location, specialization); model.addAttribute("doctors", doctors); return "doctorList"; } }

5. Create the View:

Using Thymeleaf, create a doctorList.html file under src/main/resources/templates:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Doctor Search</title> </head> <body> <h1>Doctor List</h1> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Name</th> <th>Specialization</th> <th>Location</th> <th>Rating</th> <th>Availability</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr th:each="doctor : ${doctors}"> <td th:text="${doctor.name}"></td> <td th:text="${doctor.specialization}"></td> <td th:text="${doctor.location}"></td> <td th:text="${doctor.rating}"></td> <td th:text="${doctor.availability}"></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </body> </html>

6. Running the Application:

Run the main Spring Boot application class. Once the application starts, you can navigate to http://localhost:8080/doctors/search?location=LocationName&specialization=SpecializationName to search for doctors based on location and specialization.

7. Enhancements:

  • Implement authentication and authorization.

  • Add doctor profiles with more details and reviews.

  • Implement a frontend framework for a better user experience.

  • Add filters for ratings and availability.

  • Implement CRUD operations for doctors for admin users.

This is a basic setup and can be expanded with more features and better user interface.
