Interview question

This is a very basic spring-boot app. Run it (using mvn spring-boot:run) or your favorite IDE. Try the url http://localhost:5000/greeting?name=David, it should return the string: "Hello David".

You should use this template to develop a forum system.

Requirements

We want to develop 4 APIs:

Post new question: http://localhost:5000/questions

with body:

{
  "author": "Daniel",
  "message": "Message text"
}

Response should be 201:

{
  "id": 1,
  "author": "Daniel",
  "message": "Message text",
  "replies": 0
}

Post a reply to a message: http://localhost:5000/questions/{questionId}/reply

with body:

{
  "author": "Reply author",
  "message": "Message reply text"
}

Response should be 201:

{
  "questionId": 1,
  "id": 5,
  "author": "Reply author",
  "message": "Message reply text"
}

Get a thread: http://localhost:5000/questions/{questionId},

the response should look like:

{
  "id": 1,
  "author": "Daniel",
  "message": "Message text",
  "replies": [
    {
       "id": 5,
       "author": "Reply author",
       "message": "Message reply text"
    },
    ...
  ]
}

Get a list of questions: http://localhost:5000/questions

The response should look like:

[
    {
      "id": 1,
      "author": "Daniel",
      "message": "Message text",     
      "replies": 0
    },
    ...
]

Guidelines

• Fork this repository and push your commits
• Use the spring-boot template given
• Write unit-tests, integration-tests
  • Write in javadocs what scenarios are in test
  • Higher coverage is better
• Write code documentation
• All classes given are meant to used as reference - once they are not needed, they can be removed.
• This project uses lombok - use it when possible
• Properly organize your project with .gitignore file, readme file explaining how to run the project, etc.

Deliverables

• Send us a link to a repository fulfilling the requirements.
• Your code will be tested using different tests.
• Successful implementation will move to interview.
