Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows:

"The @Data annotation from Lombok generates getters, setters, a toString() method, an equals() method, a hashCode() method, and a constructor for all required (that is, final) fields."

A block of code is set as follows:

    public interface MyRepository { 
      List<Image> findAll(); 
    }

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ java -jar build/libs/learning-spring-boot-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar  

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "When the first user clicks on Submit, the message automatically appears on the second user's window."
