General Info

Flashcard is a university project but also helps me to better understand Spring, Hibernate and client-server architecture. I think everybody knows paper flashcard, but I think better option it to use technology. With this app you can easily create new set, change languages, check your score and personalize your set with colors.

Technologies Used

• Java 17
• JavaFX 17
• CSS
• PostgreSQL
• Hibernate
• Spring
• Gson

Setup

You can download it here
After downloading and unzip you will see two folders client and server.
All you have to do is open terminal, go to server folder and run java -jar serverFlashcard.jar. After that you can go to client folder and run Flashcard.exe.
I needed to add some VM options in Intellij to properly run this program:
--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM --add-opens=com.flashcard/com.flashcard=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=com.flashcard/com.flashcard=spring.core --add-opens=com.flashcard/com.flashcard.controller=spring.core

Database

In this project I'm using postgreSQL as my database, you can download script to create all tables. Also, here is database structure:
