Clinical Research Project

This project consists of two main parts: a backend server built with Spring Boot and Java 21, and a frontend application built with React.

Make sure you have the following installed on your machine:

• Java Development Kit (JDK) 21
• Node.js
• npm (comes with Node.js)
• Maven (for building the Spring Boot project)

Assumptions Made

• Ongoing Study: I assumed that "ongoing study" in the requirment document refers to studies with a "Recruiting" status.

• Linking Patients to Studies: I've decided to use the integer part of PatientId column in the Patients table as a foreign key, which represents the StudyId in the Studies table and is diplayed as StudyId in the Patients Table on the front-end. This allows multiple patients to be linked to the same study.

• Unique Identifier for Patients: I've added a unique identifier for each patient called PatientId. This provides a unique reference for each patient record in the Patients table.

Backend Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/sheikh-saqib/clinical-research-web-app.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd clinical-research-web-app

3. Navigate to the backend directory:

   cd API

4. Build the backend application:

   mvnw clean install

5. Run the backend application:

   mvnw spring-boot:run

   The backend server should now be running on http://localhost:8080.

Frontend Setup

1. Navigate to the frontend directory:

   cd client

2. Install the dependencies:

   npm install

3. Run the frontend tests:

   npm test

4. Run the frontend application:

   npm start

   The frontend application should now be running on http://localhost:3000.
