Create the User Entity

The @Entity annotation specifies that the class is an entity and is mapped to a database table. The @Id annotation specifies the primary key of an entity and the @GeneratedValue provides for the specification of generation strategies for the values of primary keys.
package com.knf.dev.entity

import javax.persistence.*

@Entity
@Table(name = "user")
data class User(

    @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    val id: Long = 0,
    val firstName: String,
    val lastName: String,
    val email: String
)



Create the User Repository

@Repository annotation is used to indicate that the class provides the mechanism for storage, retrieval, search, update and delete operation on objects.
package com.knf.dev.repository

import com.knf.dev.entity.User
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository

@Repository
interface UserRepository : JpaRepository<User, Long>



Create the User Controller 

The @RestController annotation was introduced in Spring 4.0 to simplify the engendering of RESTful web services. It's a convenience annotation that combines @Controller and @ResponseBody. @RequestMapping annotation maps HTTP requests to handler methods of MVC and REST controllers.
package com.knf.dev.controller

import com.knf.dev.entity.User
import com.knf.dev.repository.UserRepository
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus
import org.springframework.http.MediaType
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*
import org.springframework.ui.Model
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping
import java.util.*
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable


@Controller
class UserController(private val userRepository: UserRepository) {

    @GetMapping("/")
    fun getAllUsers(model: Model): String? {
        val list: List<User> = userRepository.findAll()
        model.addAttribute("users", list)
        return "list-users"
    }

    @PostMapping(path = arrayOf("/createUser"))
    fun createNewUser(@ModelAttribute user: User): String {
        userRepository.save(user)
        return "redirect:/";
    }

    @GetMapping(path = ["/add"])
    fun addUserById(): String? {
        return "add-user"
    }

    @GetMapping(path = ["/edit/{id}"])
    fun editUserById(model: Model, @PathVariable("id") id: Long): String? {
        model.addAttribute("user", userRepository.findById(id))
        return "edit-user"
    }

    @PostMapping(path = ["/editUser"])
    fun editUser(@ModelAttribute user: User): String? {
        userRepository.save(user)
        return "redirect:/"
    }

    @GetMapping(path = ["/delete/{id}"])
    fun deleteUserById(@PathVariable("id") id: Long): String? {
        userRepository.deleteById(id)
        return "redirect:/"
    }
}



Spring Boot Main

The @SpringBootApplication annotation is a convenience annotation that combines the @EnableAutoConfiguration, @Configuration and the @ComponentScan annotations.
package com.knf.dev

import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication
import org.springframework.boot.runApplication

@SpringBootApplication
class KotlinSpringbH2DBThymeleafApplication

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    runApplication<KotlinSpringbH2DBThymeleafApplication>(*args)
}

This helps create a chain of stream operations(stream pipe-lining). The streams also support the aggregate or terminal operations on the elements. for example, finding the minimum or maximum element or finding the average etc...Stream operations can either be executed sequentially or parallel. when performed parallelly, it is called a parallel stream. Stream map() Method The Java 8 Stream map() is an intermediate operation.It converts Stream<obj1> to Stream<obj2>. For each object of type obj1, a new object of type obj2 is created and
