1. Back-end changes

EmployeeService.java interface change

Add below method in EmployeeService interface:

 void deleteEmployeeById(long id);

The complete code:

package net.javaguides.springboot.service;

import java.util.List;

import net.javaguides.springboot.model.Employee;

public interface EmployeeService {
    List < Employee > getAllEmployees();
    void saveEmployee(Employee employee);
    Employee getEmployeeById(long id);
    void deleteEmployeeById(long id);
}

EmployeeServiceImpl class changes

Add below method in EmployeeServiceImpl class:

       @Override
 public void deleteEmployeeById(long id) {
  this.employeeRepository.deleteById(id);
 }

The complete code:

package net.javaguides.springboot.service;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Optional;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

import net.javaguides.springboot.model.Employee;
import net.javaguides.springboot.repository.EmployeeRepository;

@Service
public class EmployeeServiceImpl implements EmployeeService {

    @Autowired
    private EmployeeRepository employeeRepository;

    @Override
    public List < Employee > getAllEmployees() {
        return employeeRepository.findAll();
    }

    @Override
    public void saveEmployee(Employee employee) {
        this.employeeRepository.save(employee);
    }

    @Override
    public Employee getEmployeeById(long id) {
        Optional < Employee > optional = employeeRepository.findById(id);
        Employee employee = null;
        if (optional.isPresent()) {
            employee = optional.get();
        } else {
            throw new RuntimeException(" Employee not found for id :: " + id);
        }
        return employee;
    }

    @Override
    public void deleteEmployeeById(long id) {
        this.employeeRepository.deleteById(id);
    }
}

EmployeeController changes

Add below method to EmployeeController class:

@GetMapping("/deleteEmployee/{id}")
public String deleteEmployee(@PathVariable (value = "id") long id) {
 
 // call delete employee method 
 this.employeeService.deleteEmployeeById(id);
 return "redirect:/";
}

The complete code:

package net.javaguides.springboot.controller;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;

import net.javaguides.springboot.model.Employee;
import net.javaguides.springboot.service.EmployeeService;

@Controller
public class EmployeeController {

    @Autowired
    private EmployeeService employeeService;

    // display list of employees
    @GetMapping("/")
    public String viewHomePage(Model model) {
        model.addAttribute("listEmployees", employeeService.getAllEmployees());
        return "index";
    }

    @GetMapping("/showNewEmployeeForm")
    public String showNewEmployeeForm(Model model) {
        // create model attribute to bind form data
        Employee employee = new Employee();
        model.addAttribute("employee", employee);
        return "new_employee";
    }

    @PostMapping("/saveEmployee")
    public String saveEmployee(@ModelAttribute("employee") Employee employee) {
        // save employee to database
        employeeService.saveEmployee(employee);
        return "redirect:/";
    }

    @GetMapping("/showFormForUpdate/{id}")
    public String showFormForUpdate(@PathVariable(value = "id") long id, Model model) {

        // get employee from the service
        Employee employee = employeeService.getEmployeeById(id);

        // set employee as a model attribute to pre-populate the form
        model.addAttribute("employee", employee);
        return "update_employee";
    }

    @GetMapping("/deleteEmployee/{id}")
    public String deleteEmployee(@PathVariable(value = "id") long id) {

        // call delete employee method 
        this.employeeService.deleteEmployeeById(id);
        return "redirect:/";
    }
}

2. Front-end changes

Add "Delete" button in index.html file:

<a th:href="@{/deleteEmployee/{id}(id=${employee.id})}" class="btn btn-danger">Delete</a>

<head>
    <meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
    <title>Employee Management System</title>

</head>

<body>

    <div class="container my-2">
        <h1>Employees List</h1>

        <a th:href="@{/showNewEmployeeForm}" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm mb-3"> Add Employee </a>

        <table border="1" class="table table-striped table-responsive-md">
            <thead>
                <tr>
                    <th>Employee First Name</th>
                    <th>Employee Last Name</th>
                    <th>Employee Email</th>
                    <th> Actions </th>
                </tr>
            </thead>
            <tbody>
                <tr th:each="employee : ${listEmployees}">
                    <td th:text="${employee.firstName}"></td>
                    <td th:text="${employee.lastName}"></td>
                    <td th:text="${employee.email}"></td>
                    <td> <a th:href="@{/showFormForUpdate/{id}(id=${employee.id})}" class="btn btn-primary">Update</a>
                        <a th:href="@{/deleteEmployee/{id}(id=${employee.id})}" class="btn btn-danger">Delete</a>
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </tbody>
        </table>
    </div>
