Spring Boot Angular application for researching stocks

Stockify

This application will allow you to follow and research stocks. I use the Alpha Vantage API and Finnhub API to get stock information.

Version 0.0.1

This is the initial version with the two main pieces (Spring Boot & Angular11) working together. Not much functionality yet just the initial shell of the application.

Technologies

• Spring Boot - v2.4.3
• Java - v11
• Angular - v11.2.4
• Gradle - v6.8.3
• Node - v15.11.0
• Typescript - 4.1.5

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.

Build the Angular application

To build the Angular application follow the following steps:

• open a terminal
• navigate to stockify/src/webapp
• install angular dependencies with this command npm install (you only have to do this once)
• 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 stockify/
• run the following command ./gradlew clean build

Start the application

Once the application is built you can run it with the following command:

• In the terminal from the same location you ran the build from
• run the following command ./gradlew bootRun
• navigate to the Stockify application

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