🛠️ Setup Instructions

1️⃣ Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/singhscala/todoapp-backend.git
cd todoapp-backend

2️⃣ Run DynamoDB Local

Download DynamoDB Local from the official AWS documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/DynamoDBLocal.html

After downloading and extracting, open the folder in your terminal and run:

cd DynamoDBLocal
java -Djava.library.path=./DynamoDBLocal_lib -jar DynamoDBLocal.jar -sharedDb

DynamoDB Local will start on: http://localhost:8000

3️⃣ Configure application.properties

Make sure your src/main/resources/application.properties looks like this:

spring.application.name=todoapp
aws.dynamodb.endpoint=http://localhost:8000
aws.region=us-west-2
aws.accessKey=dummy
aws.secretKey=dummy
server.port=8080

4️⃣ Run the Spring Boot App

mvn spring-boot:run

✅ Now your backend runs on: http://localhost:8080
