Boost Your Java CRUD Development with EasyCode: A Step‑by‑Step Guide

EasyCode

EasyCode is a code‑generation plugin for IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate that uses custom Velocity templates to create various code artifacts such as Entity, Dao, Service, and Controller classes. It can also generate HTML, JavaScript, PHP, and any data‑related code, making it especially useful for CRUD‑only projects.

The plugin can be installed directly from the IntelliJ Marketplace.

Sample Project

The demonstration uses a Spring Boot + MyBatis‑Plus + Vue & Element backend management system with features like RBAC, multi‑tenant, data permissions, workflow, third‑party login, payment, SMS, and e‑commerce.

Using EasyCode

1. Connect to the database you want to generate code for.

2. Right‑click the table(s) you wish to generate code for and select the generation option.

3. Configure the output package path in the settings.

4. Choose the desired generation options (e.g., include Service, Controller, etc.).

5. After generation, the CRUD code appears automatically.

6. Finally, add @MapperScan("com.example.easycode.dao") to the Spring Boot main class and ensure the DAO package is included.

package com.example.easycode;

import org.mybatis.spring.annotation.MapperScan;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
@MapperScan("com.example.easycode.dao")
public class EasycodeApplication {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(EasycodeApplication.class, args);
    }
}

After these steps, the generated code is ready to run.
