Project app-coding-exercise

This repository will be used to track and store code base for app-coding-exercise.
This is a Maven-based Spring Boot application, which is used for consuming an API. The docs for the API being consumed are present at this link.

Pre-requisites

1. The environment where this project will be run should have Java 8 setup with environment variables.
2. The environment should have Maven build tool configured for building the project and running the project as Spring-Boot application. This step is important because unless the code is built, the corresponding JAR file will not be present and the application won't run as a Java JAR or as a Spring-Boot application.

Getting the code

To get the code on your local machine, you can either fork the repository and then clone it, or you can clone this repository using the below command.

git clone https://github.com/gauravkanojia/app-coding-exercise.git

Changes can be pushed through a pull request and will be reviewed before merging them to the main (master) repository.

For Forking this repository, simply click on the Fork button on the top right corner of this page.

Build Process

As this is a Maven-based project, the dependencies and build properties are mentioned in the parent pom.xml file. To build the project, simply run the below command in the parent directory where pom.xml is present.

mvn -U clean install

Above command will build the project for the mentioned dependencies and will package it into a JAR file which can be run as any other Java JAR file.
