Student Repository

Getting Started

Original Tutorial: Build a Full Stack Application Using Spring Boot and Thymeleaf on educative.io

Tech stacks: Spring Boot, Thymeleaf, Bootstrap, jQuery

Beyond the designated tasks, I've made some improvements in this project. Specifically, in the provided students.html template, the delete button did not work, so I fixed this bug.

H2 In-memory Database

This project uses H2 in-memory database as we do not need to persist the data. By default, it is volatile and all stored data loss when we restart the application.

Build the Spring Boot application

Make sure you are inside the sprithyme repository

cd /sprithyme

Verify the installation of Maven

mvn -v

Build your Spring Boot application

mvn clean install

Run the Spring Boot Application

Now that your application is compiled, let’s run it with the following command

mvn spring-boot:run

Access the application at http://localhost:8080/students

Access the H2 database after you've run the application at http://localhost:8080/h2-console. Make sure to check the application.properties file for correct information asked when accessing the in-memory database.

Stop the application

Terminate your current terminal to stop the application as well as free up the current port.
