Week : 12 Project for Skill Distillery Java Bootcamp

Concert Tracker

This is an app designed to track various data points about concerts a user has attended. They can use this app to see how many times they have seen a particular artist, how many states have they been to a concert in, or even how many concerts they went to in any given year.

Concert API Routes:

AWS URL: http://52.14.71.152:8080/ConcertTracker/api/concerts/

Testing Via Postman

• List All Concerts ("/concerts") GET
• Search By Concert ID: (/"concerts/{id}") GET
• Edit a Concert: (/"concerts/{id}") PUT
• Delete a Concert: (/"concerts/{id}") DELETE
• Create a New Concert: (/"concerts") POST

To create a new Concert event you will need to copy the fields into the body in Postman. I have provided the template below.

{
    "artist": "Artist Name",
    "venue": "Venue Name",
    "city": "City",
    "state": "ST",
    "genre": "Type of Music",
    "date": "MM/DD/YYYY"
}

Plan of Attack

This is our first project using REST and also my first time using/creating an API. The first thing after setting up the project was to write data to MySQL Workbench so I would have data to test my routes to the API. I then created the repository, service, controller packages and class files needed along with their corresponding tests. This project setup was fairly straight forward, I was able to start working on JPA query builders for multiple options while searching a concerts various data points.
