I am confused how to use @Valid annotation for Spring data rest.

I have entity class 'User'

@Entity
@Getter @Setter @ToString @NoArgsConstructor @AllArgsConstructor  // from lombok
public class User {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Integer id;

    @Size(min = 8, max = 50)
    private String email;

    @Size(min = 8, max = 20)
    private String password;
}

And 'UserRepository'

@RepositoryRestResource
public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Integer> {

}

As I have used @Size annotation in entity(User).

But how to apply validation on api data i.e. how to use @Valid (to validate request body) as rest api ends are created by 'spring-data-rest'.

How does your controller look like? – sachin Jun 08 '20 at 11:07
I am using spring-data-rest, so we don't need to create controller. Basic api ends like '/users' [POST], '/users' [GET] are created by spring itself. So how can we validate request body. – Shiva Gupta Jun 08 '20 at 11:31
Please share your controller code – Minar Mahmud Jun 08 '20 at 11:57
