Development Notes

Frontend of the application can be developed separately from the backend. The setup requires following steps:

1. configure the application according to Setup Guide
2. configure config.properties to contain security.sameSite=None
   This is important if you are running the application over http so web browser would not block requests to the server due to CORS policy.
3. build the backend mvn clean package
4. deploy created web application archive (./target/record-manager-*.war) to a web server
5. run frontend cd ./src/main/webapp; npm run dev
6. frontend is by default accessible from http://localhost:3000

Alternatively to step 2, a browser plugin can be used to disable CORS policy.
