React Petclinic

Small project based on spring-petclinic for teaching SPA architectures with react, java and spring developer for teaching DP1 at the Software Engineering degree of University of Sevilla.

This is a fork of https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-petclinic The main changes that have been performed were:

• Trimming several parts of the application to keep the example low
• Reorganize some parts of the code according to best practices introduced in the course
• Modifying the Controllers to work as RestControllers creating several API endpoings
• Modifying the security configuration to use JWT
• Creating a React frontend.

Understanding the Spring Petclinic application backend with a few diagrams

See the presentation here

Running petclinic backend locally

Petclinic is a Spring Boot application built using Maven. You can build a jar file and run it from the command line:

git clone https://github.com/gii-is-DP1/spring-petclinic.git
cd spring-petclinic
./mvnw package
java -jar target/*.jar

You can then access petclinic backend here: http://localhost:8080/

Or you can run it from Maven directly using the Spring Boot Maven plugin. If you do this it will pick up changes that you make in the project immediately (changes to Java source files require a compile as well - most people use an IDE for this):

./mvnw spring-boot:run

Database configuration

In its default configuration, Petclinic uses an in-memory database (H2) which gets populated at startup with data. The INSERTs are specified in the file data.sql.

Working with React Petclinic in your IDE

Prerequisites

The following items should be installed in your system:

• Java 17 or newer.
• Node.js 18 or newer.
• git command line tool (https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git)
• Your preferred IDE
  • Eclipse with the m2e plugin. Note: when m2e is available, there is an m2 icon in Help -> About dialog. If m2e is not there, just follow the install process here: https://www.eclipse.org/m2e/
  • Spring Tools Suite (STS)
  • IntelliJ IDEA
  • VS Code

Steps:

1. On the command line

git clone https://github.com/gii-is-DP1/spring-petclinic.git

2. Inside Eclipse or STS

File -> Import -> Maven -> Existing Maven project

Then either build on the command line ./mvnw generate-resources or using the Eclipse launcher (right click on project and Run As -> Maven install) to generate the css. Run the application main method by right clicking on it and choosing Run As -> Java Application.

3. Inside IntelliJ IDEA

In the main menu, choose File -> Open and select the Petclinic pom.xml. Click on the Open button.

CSS files are generated from the Maven build. You can either build them on the command line ./mvnw generate-resources or right click on the spring-petclinic project then Maven -> Generates sources and Update Folders.

A run configuration named PetClinicApplication should have been created for you if you're using a recent Ultimate version. Otherwise, run the application by right clicking on the PetClinicApplication main class and choosing Run 'PetClinicApplication'.

4. Navigate to Petclinic Visit http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html in your browser.

Starting the frontend

The Spring Petclinic is implemented with a React frontend in the folder named "frontend". You can start the development server to see frontend using the command (maybe you should use the command npm insall prior to this):

npm start

You can then access the PetClinic frontend at http://localhost:3000
