A Spring boot and Angular JS application for processing news articles from https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/breaking_news.rss and displaying them.

Articles are persisted to file via h2 and new articles fetched and stored every 5 mins.

Username=user Password=demo

Backend:

Hateoas is enabled so http://localhost/api will show all available links, including available search methods etc.

Example urls:

Testing

Tests context loads
Tests creating valid articles
Uses a sample test.rss file containing 3 articles in the same format as the nasa feed so that we can test it can parse these into articles and save them in the database successfully.

Frontend:

http://localhost/

Displays articles published in last 7 days with space in the title only, ordered by date (latest top). Uses responsive table with sort available on most fields and pagination set to 10 articles per page.

keyword=space
dateString=today-7

$http.get('/api/articles/search/findByDatePublishedAfterAndTitleContainingIgnoreCase?date='+dateString+'&keyword='+keyword+'&size=100');

To display more articles, try changing app.js http path to:

$http.get(/api/articles/?size=100);

Management:

http://localhost/acuator http://localhost/metrics http://localhost/health etc...

TODO (with more time)
