Bank Ledger

This repo is a combination of 3 applications:

1. REST API: Spring Boot application providing a RESTful API for a simplified banking ledger.
2. ReactJS client app: Web Application using ReactJS and Reactstrap which provides a web front-end for the REST api.
3. NodeJS console app: A console application, using NodeJS to be run from a terminal command line window, which provides a terminal front-end for the REST api.

Notes

• These applications have only been tested on Windows 10 and Google Chrome
• The ReactJS client app is bundled with the REST API
• The ReactJS build will install Node and Yarn in a subfolder during the first launch of the Maven spring-boot:run goal
• Account information is stored in a temporary memory cache which will be wiped after restarting REST API

Prerequisites

• Maven is installed

Running REST API
