Funmarket-teemukin65 - Frontend and Backend server

Description

This is demo backend server for exposing the Funmarket API found at

http://mepa-store-api.herokuapp.com/

Backend server provides

• serves the frontend as static pages
• consumes REST api at mepa-store-api
• provides frontend an REST Api with input validation
• Heroku deploy available and worked :)

Backend server is implemented using Spring Boot

Features

End user features:

• Listing of the currently stored advertisements
• Adding of a new advertisement
• about page: shows the current Build version and latest git commit date if available in local repo

Installation

You need to have following sw installed in your system.

• Apache Maven 3.3.3 or later
• Java 1.8.0_66 or later

Then clone the repository to a work area. from the git repo:

git clone https://github.com/teemukin65/funmarketTeemukin65.git

Usage

mvn clean
mvn install
mvn spring-boot:run

And the service will be available at http://localhost:8080/

For Heroku deploy you need the heroku toolbelt installed. After logging in to heroku with the toolbelt, you just

git push heroku master

and watch how the service starts up.

TODO

For production deployments, some items are missing still. I have identified the following:

• https - operation to be configured to protect eavesdropping. Comprises server certificates to be created and installed. Spring boot provides pretty much the rest.

• user account management required for advertisement posting. Mail sending config would be needed for mail address confirmation and password reset purposes.

• user database e.g. Postgress

• Registration, login and logout views for UI

• Service logging arrangements to see to what has happened

• Automated testing for both frontend and backend

• CI setup for jenkins

• User agreement text for the registration view.

See also the README.md at src/main/resources/static for frontend description.

And probably something more, too...
