This project aims to demonstrate how to use Neo4j in conjunction with Java Spring Boot and React to build a web application. The project consists of a REST API connected to a Neo4j database, which contains information about courses, their lessons, and the relationships between users and courses.
- Integration of Neo4j into a Java Spring Boot and React application.
- Modeling and storage of relationships in a graph database.
- Use of Cypher Query Language for data querying and analysis.
- Implementation of basic functionalities of a web application, such as user and course management.
- Intuitive and attractive user interface developed with React.
Before getting started with this project, make sure you have the following installed in your development environment:
-Java Development Kit (JDK) -Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) -Neo4j Desktop and a Neo4j database -A code editor of your choice, such as Visual Studio Code or IntelliJ IDEA
Follow the steps below to set up the project on your local machine:
- Clone this repository to your local working directory.
- Open the project folder in your code editor.
- Configure the connection to the Neo4j database in the Spring Boot application configuration file.
- Run the npm install command in the project folder to install React dependencies.
- Start the Spring Boot and React application using the npm start command in the project folder.
The project follows a typical directory structure of a Java Spring Boot and React application:
- src/main/java: Contains the source code files of the Spring Boot application.
- src/main/resources: Contains configuration files and static resources of the application.
- src/main/frontend: Contains the source code files of the React user interface.(PENDING DEVELOPMENT)
- src/test: Contains the test files for the application. (PENDING DEVELOPMENT)
