About The Project

The Taco Cloud project from the famous book - "Spring in Action".

Built With

Before cloning and using this application, you'll need to install these things on your computer:

Java SE Development Kit 17: Of course you need to have Java installed to run a Java application. I used Java 17, but I think it works fine with the widely-used Java 8 (JDK 1.8), as well.
Spring Tool Suite 4: an Eclipse-based IDE to develop Spring applications. It provides a ready-to-use environment to implement, run, deploy, and debug the application. It validates your application and provides quick fixes for the applications.
Microsoft SQL Server 2019: a relational database management system developed by Microsoft. As a database server, it is a software product with the primary function of storing and retrieving data as requested by other software applications - which may run either on the same computer or on another computer across a network (including the Internet).

You can install this application by cloning this repository into your current working directory:

git clone https://github.com/theEmperorofDaiViet/taco-cloud.git

After cloning the repository, you can open the project by Spring Tool Suite.

Open the application.properties file in /src/main/resources to change the information about the datasource to fit your own settings.

Open SQL Server and create a database according to the script in SQLServer.sql file in /src/main/resources.

Finally, back to Spring Tool Suite and run the application.

This project covers the features from chapter 1 to 5 of "Spring in Action":

Traditional multipage application (MPA) with Spring MVC
- Design custom tacos by selecting ingredients
- Place an order for the tacos you designed
- Validate form input and display validation errors
- See your order history

Spring Data: store information about ingredients, tacos, orders in Microsoft SQL Server database with:
- JDBC (in previous version)
- JPA

Spring Security:
- Custom user storage:
  - In-memory user store (in previous version)
  - JDBC-based user store (in previous version)
  - LDAP-backed user store (in previous version)
  - Custom user details service
- Log in/ Log out
- Register new account
- Secure against CSRF attacks

Here is an example to illustrate the features of this application

First, I log in to an existing account. I design two tacos and place an order for them. While entering information, I intend to provide data in the wrong format to illustrate data validation. Finally, I check order history to see my previous orders, including the order I've just placed.
Second, I log out and create a new account. I log in that new account and do the same things as above.
