A simple movie application that demonstrates how to build a RESTful API using Spring Boot.
It was created in the scope of project future.

Technologies Used

• Spring Boot
• Spring MVC
• Spring Data JPA
• H2 Database
• Maven

Description

The purpose of this application is to show how to build RESTful using spring boot, currently there is not front-end implementation.
You can think of it as a clone of Netflix.
We have set movies and TV shows, that are generated(statically) at the startup of the app and they are stored in our databases.
We also have users and each user has multiple profiles showing their history.
The profile history of each user is created randomly in the startup of the application, GenerateProfiles.java
All databases are embedded in the application using H2.
