Base components, JWT no longer in use, in favor of using Cognito or alternatives

• Configuring MongoDB & creation of characters for account: https://ylazarev.com/2021/05/08/7-java-micronaut-with-mongodb-character-controller/

• Setting up Micronaut, jooq, flyway: https://ylazarev.com/2021/04/18/4-java-micronaut-dockered-postgres/

• Setting up JWT Authentication: https://ylazarev.com/2021/04/26/5-java-micronaut-jwt-authentication/

• Encode password for user, integrate with JWT: https://ylazarev.com/2021/05/04/6-java-secure-encode-user-credential/

This project branches from the Micronaut template found here: https://github.com/yazoo321/micronaut_template

Getting started

In order to build the project run: ./gradlew build

In order to remove the docker container and its database, run docker rm -f -v <container_name>

This project is a base template for getting started with micronaut + postgres + jooq + flyway + lombok.

It contains a very simple migration file (resources/db/postgres/V1__create_user_table.sql) to create a base users table and an entry with a user. Modify this based on your requirements.
