Currency Conversion API

Goal

A Currency conversion project - server, database, access clients (input data and list data).

In a Nutshell

Steps to download, install, configure, run and start the Java Rest API server, the database server, insert data into the database, as well as test and view the persisted data in the project:

Open the Command Prompt and Clone the GitHub repository and access the project folder:

git clone https://github.com/33mestre/java_base.git
cd java_base

Procedures for Unix / Linux Environment

Define Scripts Permissions:

chmod +x index.sh
chmod +x scripts/*.sh

Procedures for MS Windows Environment

No special permissions are required.

Running the Project

Execute the main script:

For Unix / Linux:

./index.sh

For Windows:

index.bat

Menu Options:

When you run the main script (index.sh or index.bat), you will be presented with the following options:

Select an option:
[1] - Server
[2] - Console
[3] - DB
[4] - Directory
[5] - Changelog

Options Description:

• Server: Starts the Java Spring server with the application running.
• Console: Launches the access client to interact with the currency conversion application.
• DB: Runs the data lister to view the data persisted in the H2 database.
• Directory: Generates the DIRECTORY.md file (used for testing purposes, as this is also automated in the CI/CD pipeline).
• Changelog: Updates the CHANGELOG.md file (used for testing purposes, as this is also automated in the CI/CD pipeline).

With just these simple steps, you should have:

• A Java Spring server with the application running.
• An H2 Database server running.
• An access client to access the currency conversion application.
• A data lister for the data persisted in the database.

This setup requires only Docker installed, without additional installations, working in MS Windows, Linux, and Unix environments. The scripts will handle the Docker installation if it's not already installed; for MS Windows, a notification will prompt you to download it manually.
