• Most important documentation resides in *Resource classes
• Full api rest calls collection can be found inside test/resources as compatible Insomia App json file

TODOs:

• Optimize persistence classes, removing unused relationship mappings.
• Refactor duplicate code for generic multipurpose code
• Add proper logging (Maybe by aspects?)
• Update spring-boot to latest

NinjaOne Backend Interview Project

The project is configured to use an in-memory H2 database that is volatile. If you wish to make it maintain data on application shut down, you can change the spring.database.jdbc-url to point at a file like jdbc:h2:file:/{your file path here}

Starting the Application

Run the BackendInterviewProjectApplication class

Go to:

• http://localhost:8080/sample/1
• http://localhost:8080/sample/2

You should see results for both of these. The application is working and connected to the H2 database.

H2 Console

In order to see and interact with your db, access the h2 console in your browser. After running the application, go to:

http://localhost:8080/h2-console

Enter the information for the url, username, and password in the application.yml:

url: jdbc:h2:mem:localdb
username: sa 
password: password

You should be able to see a db console now that has the Sample Repository in it.

Type:

SELECT * FROM SAMPLE;

Click Run, you should see two rows, for ids 1 and 2

Suggestions

Feel free to remove or repurpose the existing Sample Repository, Entity, Controller, and Service.
