Spring Boot & Angular Application

This project is a Spring Boot and Angular application that requires a MySQL database running on localhost:3306. It provides a web-based user interface for interacting with the application.

Requirements

Before running the application, make sure you have the following software installed on your system:

Java Development Kit (JDK) 17 (or any version compatible with Spring Boot 3.1.1)
Node.js (v16.20.1 recommended)
Angular CLI (v16.1.5 recommended)
MySQL Server (running on localhost:3306) with appropriate database setup

How to Run

Follow these steps to run the Spring Boot & Angular application:

1. Clone the Repository

First, clone this repository to your local machine using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/athxrva1/Angular-Spring-Task-Mgr

2. Backend Setup

a. Import Project into IDE

Import the Spring Boot project into your preferred Integrated Development Environment (IDE) such as Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA.

b. Build and Run Backend

If you're using Maven, navigate to the root directory of the Spring Boot project and run the following command:

mvn spring-boot:run

The backend will run on a default port - 8080.

3. Frontend Setup

Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the frontend directory inside the cloned repository.

cd spring-boot-angular-app/client

a. Install Dependencies

Install the required Node.js packages using npm.

npm install

b. Run Frontend

Start the Angular development server.

ng serve

The frontend application will run on http://localhost:4200.

4. MySQL Database

Ensure that your MySQL database server is running on localhost:3306, and create a database for this application. Remember to export appropriate environment variables to enable connection with database, Spring Boot application uses following:

# MySQL Config
spring.datasource.username=${MYSQL_LOGIN}
spring.datasource.password=${MYSQL_PASSWORD}

Additional Notes

The application's frontend will communicate with the backend API running on http://localhost:8080. Make sure the backend is running before accessing the frontend.
You can customize the backend API base URL in the frontend application if your backend is running on a different port or domain.
The application is tested and verified on Windows 64-bit (win32 x64) operating system. It should also work on other platforms, but it is recommended to use Windows for the best compatibility.
There is also a import.sql file that contains sample data that can be loaded into databse if needed.
Application reuses same db without removing any data when closing, you can change this behaviour by manipulating properties in application.properties file:

# JPA Config
# Create a db on startup (change to create for data migration)
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update

Feel free to reach out if you encounter any issues or have questions related to the application.
