Spring-Undo ↩️

Spring Boot starter that provides a way to easily implement undo functionality in your Spring Boot application.

---

Features

• Drastically simplifies undo implementation. Reduces boilerplate that otherwise you need to manage.
• Supports application scaling. Persist-module can use shared storage between all instances of your application. So you can call undo from any instance.
• Spring-Undo is a Spring Boot Starter. You don't need to write any additional configuration for setting up Spring-Undo.

Usage

1. Add the following dependencies in your build.gradle file:

implementation 'dev.fomenko:spring-undo-core:v0.0.1'
implementation 'dev.fomenko:spring-undo-redis:v0.0.1'

or pom.xml file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>dev.fomenko</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-undo-core</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>dev.fomenko</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-undo-redis</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1</version>
</dependency>

2. Create a dto that will represent an event that can be undone.

@Data
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
public class UserRegisteredEvent {
    private String email;
}

3. Register an event listener that will be called when either undo timeout is reached or undo is called.

@Component
public static class UserRegisteredUndoEventListener extends UndoEventListener<UserRegisteredEvent> {
    @Override
    public void onUndo(UserRegisteredEvent action) {
        // handle here undo logic
    }

    @Override
    public void onPersist(UserRegisteredEvent action) {
        // handle here what to do when event is persisted
        // For example, you can send an email to the user here
    }
}

4. Autowire Undo bean and publish any object that represents an undoable action.

@RestController
@RequiredArgsConstructor
class UserController {
    private final Undo undo;

    @PostMapping("/register")
    public String register(RegistrationDto registration) {
        // main application logic
        var event = new UserRegisteredEvent("newUser@gmail.com");
        
        // publish method returns event id that can be used to undo the action
        return undo.publish(undoable);
    }
}

5. Create a controller that will undo the action.

@RestController
public class UndoController {
    private final Undo undo;

    @GetMapping("/undo/{id}")
    public String undo(@PathVariable String id) {
        undo.undo(id);
        return "Undo successful";
    }
}

6. You're done! 🎉
