I can't import org.springframework.web - spring-mvc

Question

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.Getmapping;
#Controller
public class HomeController {
#GetMapping("/")
public String home(){
return "hone";
}
}
I just can't import org.springframework.web so that I can't use #GetMapping.
How to solve this problem?
Should I add more dependencies?

Answer 1

Add spring-web module to your classpath.
Gradle
compile group: 'org.springframework', name: 'spring-web', version: '5.2.6.RELEASE'
Maven
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
<version>5.2.6.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Answer 2

In build.gradle, under dependencies, add:
dependencies {
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter'
// TODO: Add this implementation
implementation 'org.springframework:spring-web:5.3.15'
testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
}
Then, as shown below, be sure to 'Reload All Gradle Projects'.
For additional context, consult the docs on Maven Repository.
Essentially, we have to specify this source for our import to know from where to import.
It's not clear to me why this isn't part of the offerings whenever we use the Spring Intializr. 🤷🏾‍♂️
