• Java 8
• Spring Boot 2.3.0
• Angular 8.3.4

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

• Setup a DB; I used MySQL. If you use something else, some tweaks will be required to the application.properties file and the data.sql file (if you want to load the example data).

Installation

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/lynch0001/PolicyDiscussionBoardApp.git

2. Install NPM packages.

   npm install

3. Run the backend.

   mvn spring-boot:run

4. Run the frontend.

   ng serve

Usage

I built this app to facilitate discussions on foreign and defense policy because that's something i am interested in. That said, it could be used to facilitate discussion on any topic. Functionality allows users to:

• Register as a site user
• Login/logout of the site
• See discussions topics (registered or not)
• Read full discussions (when logged in)
• Start a new discussion with subject tags (when logged in)
• Filter discussions by subject tags (TBC)
• Comment on discussions (when logged in)
• Read about the site author
• Sent a note to the site administrator
• Administer the site (admin user) (TBC)
