Help regarding radio button input in Spring boot and JPA

[woven crest]

Hello everyone, i created a database using spring jpa and inserted data in it using the input from my html page form. Now, whenever i use String variable to store the typed data, JPA can easily map it and create the db, while I'm unable to store the type of data if it is a radio button or date type input. I wanted to know as to how I could store radio button values and input type date values in my database which was created using Spring JPA. Any type of help would be appreciated,thanks!

hello

based on the description uve provided, it seems that you're working on a web application in 2 sides frontend and backend

a radio button is used to pick an option from a list

and as each element in a list must have a unique ID, you can use it

as for Date, in spring you can use LocalDate or Instant types

so if your clientside app sends a string like this "2024-01-01", it could be accepted in spring as a date object

I see, so in my html form if i use input type as radio for gender, i will still be able to map the gender field in database as string right? Meaning it will still be able to take input?

I see, just wanted to confirm if LocalDate as a datatype exists in mysql as well, because I'm using MySQL as a database
