Structure

The project has a simple Java project structure with the following packages (in src/main/java)

• com.acoer.test.contact: This is the main package, classes directly in this package should not be touched.
• com.acoer.test.contact.controller: Contains the controller side of the MVC pattern that processes the RESTful requests
• com.acoer.test.contact.domain: Contains the domain classes that encapsulate the information that will be persisted in MongoDB
• com.acoer.test.contact.service: Contains the service implementation responsible for the connection with MongoDB

A basic application configuration can be found in src/main/resources/application.properties with the following settings:

• spring.data.mongodb.uri: Connection string to the mongoDB. We created a DB for you to connect to it and persist the data, so there is no need to change it.
• server.port: HTTP port in which the application server will start up and will be listening for requests. You can change it if you wish.

Database

This project connects to a MongoDB database we have pre-configured for the challenge. If you wish to connect using a client like Robo3T or similar please use the URI set in spring.data.mongodb.uri in the file src/main/resources/application.properties

Swagger

This Microservice has Swagger UI integrated in it, so you can test the REST endpoints. To get to it put the following in a web browser: http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui

Running the application

This is a standard SpringBoot application, you can run it by executing the following command from the project root directory:

./mvnw spring-boot:run
