Define Task Repository

An entity isn't much use by itself, so let's create a repository.

This way we can use the Task entity to interact with the database!

Declare the Task Repository

Let's create a dedicated package for our repository, com.devtiro.task.repository. In a typical project you often have multiple repositories, so this convention keeps things organised.

Now let's create the task repository. This is an interface, which we'll call TaskRepository:

/** Repository for handling tasks. */
@Repository
public interface TaskRepository extends JpaRepository<Task, UUID> {}

That's it! We don't need to create an implementation for this interface, because the framework does it for us! Better yet, extending JpaRepository gives us all the functionality we need for this build.

Now let's move on to the service layer.
