Simple Task Manager

This is just a simple task manager software (aka TODO App) as a small tech demo demonstrating Spring Boot 3.1 with PostgreSQL, Vanilla JavaScript using the fetch API, Web-Components, lit-HTML and Bootstrap.

How to Get Started

The application is configured for the database specified in the accompanying docker-compose.yml file. If you want to use a different database, you need to modify the application.properties file.

Starting the PostgreSQL database in a Docker container

To start the database, you can use either Docker Desktop or IntelliJ (Services), or navigate to the root directory of the project on the command line:

$ docker compose up --detach

This command starts the database in the background. To check its status, use the following command:

$ docker ps --all

To stop the database, use the following command:

$ docker compose down

The container is configured to store the database data in a Docker volume, so the data will be retained when the database is started again.

To view the volumes, use the following command:

$ docker volume ls

To delete the data volumes, use the following command:

$ docker volume rm task_manager_task_manager_db_data

Starting the application

Now you can compile the Spring Boot application with:

$ ./mvnw clean install

If the database is available and configured, you can start the application with the following command:

$ ./mvnw spring-boot:run

Building a docker container

To build a docker container of the app, you can use the spring-boot-maven plugin by running this command:

$ ./mvnw spring-boot:build-image

Accessing Swagger-UI

You can test the complete functionality using the Swagger-UI, which is available at http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui.html.
