Backend Setup (Spring Boot)

Prerequisites

• Java 17+
• Maven
• MySQL (or compatible database)

Configuration

Edit car-rental-spring/src/main/resources/application.properties as needed:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/car_rental_db
spring.datasource.username=YOUR_DB_USER
spring.datasource.password=YOUR_DB_PASSWORD
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
spring.jpa.show-sql=true
server.port=8080
JWT_KEY=YOUR_SECRET_KEY

Running the Backend

cd car-rental-spring
mvn spring-boot:run

The backend will start on http://localhost:8080.

---

Frontend Setup (Angular)

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18+ recommended)
• npm

Install Dependencies

cd car-rental-angular
npm install

Running the Frontend

npm start

The frontend will start on http://localhost:4200.

Useful Commands

• ng build — Build the Angular app
• ng test — Run unit tests
• ng e2e — Run end-to-end tests (after adding a suitable e2e package)

---

Connecting Frontend & Backend

• Ensure the backend is running on port 8080 and the frontend on 4200.
• Update API URLs in the Angular app as needed to point to the backend (see your Angular service files for details).

---

Additional Notes

• Database: Make sure your MySQL server is running and the database car_rental_db exists (or update the name in application.properties).
• JWT Key: Change the JWT_KEY in application.properties for production use.
• Environment Variables: For production, use environment variables or secrets management for sensitive data.
