Dater Back-end

This is the Dater project Back-end. It is built using Spring Boot. It implements basic CRUD functionality on all models, checks all the events in the events at the given interval and if needed sends out a daily report incoming events to the user. Every notification (mail or sms) is logged in the logging database.

Front-end github repo

docker build --build-arg JAR_FILE=build/libs/\*.jar -t dater-be .
docker run -e "SETTING_PIN=1234 spring.data.mongodb.uri=mongodb://localhost:27017" -p 5005:8080 -t dater-be

Setup

1. On first time setup, user needs to configure email address, which is used to send out emails. The config email security settings has to be turned on to allow outside apps to access this email acc.

   In `application.properties` Replace the username with email aadress and email password with your emaol password.
   
   For the configurations to work in our applications, you must configure gmail account settings to allow connections from less secure apps.
   
   On the Gmail account, click on manage account -> security -> turn on access to less secure apps
   

2. Setup mongoDb docker

• To build & run the image
  • docker pull mongo && docker run -d --name mongo -p 27017:27017 mongo
• In application.properties file set the mongoDB.uri filed as the connection string (mongodb://localhost:270717)

3. Start Gradle server
