Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

You need following softwares before running this application.

1. Java 8 SDK
2. Apache Maven 3.3 build tool
3. Postgresql version 9.6
4. Popular IDEs such as Intellij/Eclipse (optional)
5. Postman Client for REST APIs testing (optional)

Installing and Deployment

A step by step guide that helps you get a development env running

1. Checkout https://github.com/beingarchitect/movieapp.git

2. Go to the folder where the above project has been checked out

3. Ensure to change the password of postgres.

   • Run sudo -iu postgres command
   • Run psql in postgres user shell
   • Alter default password by running ALTER USER postgres WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'postgres@123';
   • Confirm the password by entering the command in user shell postgres=# \password

   Note: If you wish not to change the default password of postgres, then change the password in the following application
   configuration
   1. datasource.password in movies-api/src/main/resources/application.yaml
   2. database.password in movies-db/src/main/config/localhost.properties
   

4. Build the project using mvn clean install -DskipTests. First time build will consume time as it downloads all dependencies.

5. Go to movies-db module and build the project using maven command mvn install -Psetup,test-data to setup the database schema called movies, tables, privileges, seed data such as groups, roles and permissions. Following are the predefined roles:

   • Administrator (101)
   • Customer (102) - All signed up users are assigned with this role by default

   Note: test-data profile is optional but this will setup an admin user with username as [email protected] and default password as movieapp@123
   

6. After the db setup, go to movies-api module and then run command mvn spring-boot:run. If everything is fine, then API backend application should be up and running on 8080 using the context api

   2018-06-16 16:42:53.806 - [INFO ] - o.s.b.w.e.tomcat.TomcatWebServer - Tomcat started on port(s): 8080 (http) with context path '/api'
   

7. Access the following healthcheck url http://localhost:8080/api/actuator/health that should result in following output

   {
       "status": "UP"
   }
   

8. Try accessing implemented API endpoints using swagger-ui, a plugin configured in the application. Open http://localhost:8080/api/swagger-ui.html in a browser and you should see all API endpoint implementation.

Best wishes!
