The images above may look slightly different to the app. If major changes are made, new images will be uploaded to reflect this.

Setup

Prerequisites:

JDK 11 (the app currently won't work on later versions due to an issue with one of the libraries -- Karibu testing -- not being compatible with later versions)
If you don't have Node.js installed globally, it is not needed as Vaadin will install it automatically
- If you do have Node.js installed, please ensure it is at least version 10.0
MySQL 8.0.* or (better) Docker

Running the app

If you want to use Docker, follow one of the two appoaches (if you use Windows, follow the first approach):

1. Start locally with only MySQL running in docker

Clone the repository
Import the project as a maven project into your favourite IDE (or run maven on the terminal)
Build the project at the root using ./mvn clean install (Unix) or mvnw.cmd clean install (Windows)
Start MySQL database using docker-compose up -d mysql phpmyadmin
Start the application using java -jar target/book-project-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
Log in with the details below:
- Username: user

2. Start using docker-compose in production mode

Clone the repository
Import the project as a maven project into your favourite IDE (or run maven on the terminal)
At the root of the project, build the project in production mode using one of the following commands. In production mode all UI components are packaged in a jar file.
- ./mvnw clean package -Pproduction (Unix), or
- mvnw.cmd clean package -Pproduction (Windows)
Start the MySQL Database and book project app using docker compose docker-compose up --build
Go to localhost:8080
Log in with the details below:

You may find lots of errors for things like the log statements, or the entities not having constructors. You can find instructions on how to fix this for IntelliJ and Eclipse in our troubleshooting wiki page. Other common errors and solutions are also detailed in the troubleshooting page.
