Backend for Krisefikser

This is the backend readme for the Krisefikser project.

Environment Setup

Before running the application, you need to set up your environment variables in a .env file. Ask the developer team for the file, then add it to the root directory of the project.

Required Environment Variables

Look in the .env.example file that lies at the root of the project.

Running the Application

With Docker (Recommended)

If you have Docker installed on your machine, start Docker in a logged out mode and then run:

docker compose up --build

Note: First build may take some time (approximately five minutes or more)

To stop the container:

docker compose down

Without Docker

To run the backend directly:

mvn clean install
mvn spring-boot:run

Running Tests

To run the tests:

mvn clean test

For test coverage report:

mvn jacoco:report

The coverage report can be found at target/site/jacoco/index.html and can be opened in any browser.

Database Connection

To connect to the database, make sure you've properly configured the database URL, username, and password in your .env file.

Project Structure

The backend follows a standard Spring Boot application structure:

• krisefikser - Main source code
• resources - Application configuration
• test - Test cases

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues:

1. Ensure your .env file is correctly configured
2. Check database connectivity
3. Verify you're using the correct Java version (17 or newer)
4. Make sure all required dependencies are installed
