Setup

This sample project was built using Java's spring framework. Please visit this page for details on how to setup spring on your local machine.

Next cd into the directory and run gradle bootRun. This should start up the web app and mount it on http://localhost:8080

Implementation Details

This sample project uses the h2 database because it's lightweight and easy to setup.

It is setup to provide a JSON api that can be consumed but a number of different clients.

Models

Each model has an associated DAO (Data Access Object) which implements the raw sql queries (separating the User object from its queries seems like a good idea). The list method returns a List of User objects. The get method also returns a java User object.

Controllers

The UsersController currently implements two routes. /users and /users/new

The /users route returns the list of all users as a JSON object. The /users/new route is a post endpoint that accepts a json object and persists it in the database. Below is a sample reqeust to the /users/new endpoint.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -d '{
"firstName": "Josiah",
"lastName": "Bartlet",
"email": "[email protected]",
"role": "President"
}' "http://localhost:8080/users/new"
