spring.datasource.username = moderan
spring.datasource.password = moderan
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.jdbc.lob.non_contextual_creation = true
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
# Hibernate ddl auto (create, create-drop, validate, update)

1.Build and Run the project

We have used gradle for this project.

gradle bootRun

It will start the server at port 8888 as mentioned in the application.properties file. If you want you can change it to your convinience. Also it will create necessary databases and Put One user inside users tables as admin.

• You can check user package in users folder

This is just to handle some permissions for our main api routes.

You can look at Person Folder

I have used thunder client of Vscode but you use your browser or POSTMAN to test the endpoints.

Authentication

For authentication, we have used a Basic Auth (username & password): localhost:8888/auth return a user json object with details. You are authenticated.

• Auth route setup

• Response

We have two main routes:

1. To save a Person "/person" POST METHOD permitted only to users with role ADMIN

• POST url and input body. It takes a json in the following format

• Response: returns a new created Person Object with timestamp and id.

2. To retrieve list of records matching a search string a Person "/person?search=John" GET METHOD permitted to ALL Let's say we want to retrieve all rows of data with 'John' in any column. We put a query parameter 'search' and its value as 'John'

• GET url and input body. It takes a json in the following format

• Response: returns a json list of all the records with 'John'

I implemented a simple test which you can find here

• I would have loved to have more tests(Unit and integration test with Mockito)
• Error Handling can be much better with custom Error handlers
• Implementing CORS for the endpoints
