Recruits

This application is my personal project to keep track of college football recruits and players. This is a spring boot angular application using a postgresql database using R2DBC and reactive io.

Version 1.1.0

Added the ability to scrape all the power five colleges.

Version 1.0.0

Working version with web scraping of site and sortable display table. Currently only works with Florida State.

Version 0.3.0

Add Noles247 web scraping.

Version 0.2.0

Version 0.1.0

This is the initial version with only Spring Boot and Angular working together. Not much functionality yet just the initial shell of the application.

How to run locally

I use a Mac and IntelliJ IDEA so these instructions are for that setup. After you clone the repository then follow the steps below.

Start Postgresql DB locally or in a docker container

First step is to start the Postgresql database locally or in a docker container. To start in a docker container run the following command and of course replace the <password> with your own:

docker run --name fsuroster -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<password> -d -p 5432:5432 postgres

Build the Angular application

To build the Angular application follow the following steps:

open a terminal
navigate to recruits/src/webapp
run the following command only if the first time npm install
run the following command npm run build

Build the spring boot application

Next build the Spring Boot application with these steps:

open a terminal
navigate to recruits/
run the following command ./gradlew clean build

Start the application

Building the angular application and the spring boot application above is basically to make sure everything builds correctly, because the command below will build everything, generate a bootJar and then run it.

First you will need to create a file called application-dev.yml in the src/main/resources folder. It needs to contain something like the following. The important parts are the spring configuration values. Replace <password> with your password.

# application properties

server:
  port: 8080

logging:
  level:
    root: INFO
    com:
      scurtis: TRACE

spring:
  datasource:
    url: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres
    username: postgres
    password: <password>
  r2dbc:
    url: r2dbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres
    username: postgres
    password: <password>

In the terminal from the root folder (recruits) you run the following command:

SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=dev gradle build bootRun

navigate to http://localhost:8080

NOTE: You can also build and run the application from IntelliJ
