Simple Java Server

A basic Java server using Spring Boot, and MongoDB. Created using Spring Initializr. The backend for the Simple Todo App.

Running Locally

git clone https://github.com/adelabdallah/simple-java-server.git
cd simple-java-server
Ensure the Java 11 SDK is specified in the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
Install MongoDB using default settings as a MongoDB Service. This project was created using a Windows machine using the cmder console emulator, so these instructions are for that specific setup. Your mileage may vary.
- MongoDB Compass was used as a GUI for monitoring the DB. I used it to create my collections and view data.
- Alternatively, start a shell using "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.4\bin\mongo.exe", and do everything there.
Create a database using md "C:\data\db", or whatever path you'd like.
Start database using "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.4\bin\mongod.exe" --dbpath="c:\data\db".
- If stopping the above command doesn't shutdown the DB, use the following in the shell:
```
use admin
db.shutdownServer()
quit()
```
Create a collection called tasks.
Finally, start the Spring server using: mvnw spring-boot:run.

Tests

Navigate to TaskDaoTest.java and run tests in editor.

Sample Requests

All requests were done in the command line using HTTPie, a wonderful little HTTP Client. Feel free to use your client of choice. The following commands use HTTPie and are OS agnostic (as far as I can tell).

Get all tasks

http GET localhost:8080/get

Create task

http POST localhost:8080/create id=abc123 title=someTitle0 date=02012020 description=someDescription0
