Endava Technical Interview

Project Setup

Fork the repository and clone it to your local machine. For documentation on how to do this, please visit: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo
Open the project locally
Create a new branch in the newly forked repo using the naming convention yourFirstName_yourLastName. This is where your work should be saved.
Run the project from the WorkSampleApplication class
The application will start on http://localhost:8080
To better understand the workflow process, view this video on how to fork a repository, and open a pull request to merge branches within a forked repository

Existing State

This is a simple REST application for serving a blog.
It uses Spring Framework, Maven, Java 11, Lombok and data is stored in a Mongo database.

Currently the application has 2 endpoints:

1) To add a blog post - Post at /blog/post
2) To get a blog post by id - Get at /blog/post/{id}

Task

Your task is to add a commenting feature.

You should add two new endpoints.

1) Post at /blog/post/{1}/comment - which should create a new comment for a post with passed {id}

2) Get at /blog/post/{1}/comment - which should return all comments for a post with passed {id}

Under the resources folder are example json files for both a Blog and a Comment.

Feel free to modify existing files or create new files. You may add new dependencies if you choose. Please follow the conventions in place throughout the project.

Please spend no more than 4 hours on this task

Submitting Your Work (IMPORTANT)

When you are finished:

Create a Pull Request in Github for the forked repository.
This Pull Request should compare your created branch on the forked repo to the main branch on your forked repo.
Email the link to your Pull Request to nicole.niemczycki@endava.com at least 24 hours prior to your technical interview
