AnimeListKata

This project is intended to be a kata, or practice project, to learn and practice Java.

The heart of the project is going to be an Anime list, where we can do things like:

1. Allow a user to keep a list of their favorite animes
2. Allow multiple users
3. Allow a user to re-order their list of favorite animes
4. Allow user to add or remove from their list
5. Allow users to see other users lists

This project will start of simple. A simple Java project using Maven. As it gets developed, it may become a java web application or it may turn into a microservice backend that will have a separate project for the front end. Or it may go stale and get no work done. Who knows :D

animelistkata's Issues

Create Initial Java Project

• Clone the AnimeListKata repo to your dev environment.
• Use Spring initializer to create the java project https://start.spring.io/
• -Project = Maven, Language = Java, Spring Boot version = 3.0.0
• -Project Metadata, group = tech.manleysoftware (or whatever you want here), artifact = anime-list, name = anime-list, Description - whatever you want, java == 11.
• -Then click generate
• use Intellij IDEA (Community edition is great for personal computers) to open the new project.
• add a generic gitIgnore file for java projects, see link here: https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Global/JetBrains.gitignore
• push the changes to the repo

Create User

Agile Story: As a weeb who loves anime and watches entirely too much of it, I want to be able to rate my favorite anime's. To do this, I'll need an account that has my unique Display Name, First and Last Name, and optional phone number.

Technical details: Since we're not dealing with any UI yet, our solution should be proved out by either 1). Console logging, 2). A REST endpoint 3). Unit Testing

Note: Lets not worry about database for now. We can simply keep the User we create in a list in memory to be added/retrieved while the application is running.
