Welcome to the NIAEFEUP Backend Documentation!

• Development Setup

Development Setup

Prerequisites

• Java JDK 17+
• Gradle 7.5+

Running

With IntelliJ

Simply load the Gradle project and run the application. For automatic restart to fire up every time a source file changes, make sure that Build project automatically under File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Compiler is checked.

With the command line

Run the following command in your shell:

./gradlew bootRun

Linting

We use ktlint to ensure a consistent coding style according to the community standards, through a Gradle plugin.

With IntelliJ

Although IntelliJ does not provide linting suggestions for Kotlin out of the box, you can use a third-party plugin to run the linter at real time.

With the command line

You can fire up the analysis yourself by running in your shell:

./gradlew ktlintCheck

You can fix the lint automatically by running in your shell:

./gradlew ktlintFormat

With a git hook

You can setup a local precommit git hook for lint analysis running a Gradle task provided by the used linting plugin:

./gradlew addKtlintCheckGitPreCommitHook

Or even an auto-format hook, if that is your thing:

./gradlew addKtlintFormatGitPreCommitHook

Testing

With IntelliJ

Run the test suite as usual, selecting the respective task for running.

With the command line

Run the following command in your shell:

./gradlew test
