Gear Silo - Peer-To-Peer Outdoor Gear Rentals

Angular and RESTful API Software Application

Week 16 Final Project at Skill Distillery - January 7, 2020

Built by:

• Vinton Lee
• Colt Looper
• Adam Onwan
• Jerry Rogers, Jr
• Brian Streetman

This was a two-week-long sprint use Agile Methodologies to exceed the minimum viable product for our final assignment.

Overview:

This program is designed to be a full-stack RESTful software application that creates, reads, updates and deletes user, gear, reservation data from a database we built using MySQL Workbench and connecting with using Java Database Connectivity.

How to run:

First, the user enters the home page. The user can choose to:

• See the available gear to rent
• Login
• Join our community

Demo Account:

• Email: martymcfly@gmail.com
• Password: gear

A logged-in user can:

• Update their profile
• Make reservations
• Rate and make a review comment after the reservation
• Add gear to rent
• Approve reservations
• Mark reservations complete

The admin user can:

• Remove a review
• Deactivate or reactivate a user

Admin Account:

• Email: gearsilo@gmail.com
• Password: gear

Technologies used:

Java 1.8 / EE, Java Persistence API (JPA), REST API, Spring Boot, Spring Security, JUnit, Gradle, Hibernate, JSON, TypeScript, Angular, Visual Studio Code, HTML5, CSS, Bootstrap, XML, MySQL Workbench, Postman, Apache Tomcat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Atom, Git, GitHub, Trello, and Slack.

Topics implemented:

• Build a front-end with TypeScript, Angular, and VS Code.
• Send asynchronous requests to Java controllers with HTTP to perform CRUD RESTfully.
• Consume and parse JSON responses with Angular.
• Dynamic Web Applications using Spring Boot.
• Tomcat 8 on AWS EC2 Instance.
• CCS, Material, and Bootstrap to make it web and mobile-friendly.
• Object-Relational Mapping (ORM).
• Relational Database: large multi-table SQL Database creation using MySQL Workbench.
• Java Libraries: SQL, List, and handling exceptions.
• Object-Oriented Programming in Java: Abstraction, Polymorphism, Inheritance, and Encapsulation.
• Test-Driven Development using JUNIT Juniper.

Lessons learned:

This project helped us better grasp the capabilities of Dynamic Web Applications by allowing us to better learn how to:

• Build a multi-table database using MySQL Workbench.
• Be an Agile and Scrum development team
• Use branching on Git/GitHub
• Understand Spring Security.
• Use the Angular to generate HTML.
• Build a Dynamic Web Applications using Spring Boot RESTful API endpoints.
• CCS, Material, and Bootstrap to make it web and mobile-friendly.
