Building a Full Stack Learn Opus app similar to Medium with Spring Boot, Spring Security, JWT, React and Ant Design

Steps to Setup the Spring Boot Back end app (lernopus-app-server)

1. Clone the application

   git clone https://github.com/Lernopus/lernopus.git
   cd lernopus-app-server

2. Create MySQL database

   create database lernopus-dev

3. Change MySQL username and password as per your MySQL installation

   • open src/main/resources/application.properties file.

   • change spring.datasource.username and spring.datasource.password properties as per your mysql installation

4. Run the app

   You can run the spring boot app by typing the following command -

   mvn spring-boot:run

   The server will start on port 1010.

   You can also package the application in the form of a jar file and then run it like so -

   mvn package
   java -jar target/lernopus-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

5. Default Roles

   The spring boot app uses role based authorization powered by spring security. To add the default roles in the database, I have added sql queries in src/main/resources/ folder. These sql queries are meant for default table creation and configuration data. Spring boot will automatically execute this script on startup -

   Please Read :

   1. src/main/resources/db/migration/V1_schema.sql
   2. src/main/resources/db/migration/V1_default_roles.sql
   3. src/main/resources/data.sql

Steps to Setup the React Front end app (lernopus-app-client)

First go to the lernopus-app-client folder -

cd lernopus-app-client

Then type the following command to install the dependencies and start the application -

npm install && npm start

The front-end server will start on port 3000.
