Back end for application developed as part of my engineering thesis. A web application for posting classifieds supported by smart contracts.

ELX - back end

Back end for ELX application written in Spring Boot with Kotlin.

Running the application locally (dev profile)

The application requires Java 11.

Copy example-application-dev.properties and example-data.sql to the main/resources/ folder and rename them to application-dev.properties and data.sql, respectively. Edit the application-dev.properties file with details about your database driver, connection, secrets; adjust the configuration to your needs.

Use the default data initialization script or fill it with your own data. To use the application fully, you'll certainly have to change the users' Ethereum addresses. The script provides four accounts:

• username: jasmine03, password: maybE4$$$
• username: maryjann password: Maryjann1!
• username: jerrybumbleberry, password: Jerrry1!
• username: NewKidOnTheBlock, password: NewKidd0)

On Windows, run:

gradlew.bat bootRunDev

On Linux, run:

./gradlew bootRunDev

The application will be available under http://localhost:8080.

Running the application in production

Define environment variables DATABASE_URL and JWT_SECRET. On Windows, run:

gradlew.bat bootRun
