Department Store API

The Department Store API is a sample application built with Spring Boot that provides a RESTful API for managing department store operations. This API allows users to perform various actions related to department management, such as creating departments, adding products, managing inventory, and processing orders.

Features

The Department Store API offers the following key features:

• Department Management: Users can create new departments, retrieve department details, update department information, and delete departments.
• Product Management: Products can be added to departments, and their details (name, price, quantity) can be managed.
• Inventory Management: Users can track inventory levels for each product, including stock availability and quantity.
• Order Processing: Orders can be placed, and the API handles order validation, inventory updates, and order fulfillment.

Technology Stack

The Department Store API is built using the following technologies:

• Spring Boot: A powerful Java framework that simplifies the development of Java applications, providing features such as auto-configuration, embedded servers, and production-ready defaults.
• Spring Data JPA: A part of the Spring Data project that simplifies database operations by providing easy-to-use abstractions for working with databases.
• Hibernate: An object-relational mapping (ORM) framework that integrates with Spring Data JPA to handle the mapping between Java objects and relational database tables.
• Spring Web: A module of the Spring framework that provides features for building web applications, including RESTful APIs.
• H2 Database: An in-memory database used for local development and testing purposes.
• JUnit: A unit testing framework for Java that provides annotations and assertions for writing and running tests.
• Swagger: A tool for designing, building, and documenting RESTful APIs.
