This is the e-commerce application for Mock Company. It's built using the following languages/frameworks

To develop against this codebase, the following development tools should be installed on your workstation first:

• Java 8 JDK
• Node 12+
• Git
• GitHub

You can use your IDE of choice to develop in this app but it should have Java/Gradle support at a minimum. The best recommendation for IDE is IntelliJ Community Edition as it's free and works very well with Java/Gradle/Spring/Groovy/Spock.

All build/test commands are to be run through a terminal using the Gradle Wrapper file. This means, instead of each developer having to download and install the exact version of Gradle for the project, there are shell scripts: gradlew for posix (Mac/Linux) and gradlew.bat for Windows. These shell scripts should be used to execute any 'task', such as a build, assemble, or test.

For example, on Windows, to run all unit tests you would run: gradlew test and on Mac: ./gradlew test from the root of the repository where the gradlew files are located. On Windows, the .bat isn't needed because it automatically looks in the current working directory. Where on Mac/Linux, the developer has to use ./ at the beginning to indicate the script to run in the current working directory, indicated by the .

To build and start the application, run the Gradle bootRun task

./gradlew bootRun  # on Mac/Linux
gradlew bootRun    # on Windows

This will build the UI, build the Java API, and start the application at the following web address: http://localhost:8080

• test - run all unit tests
• assemble - build and package the application
• build - runs test and assemble
• clean - removes generated files/folders
• bootRun - compiles and runs the application
