Features

• Generate postage labels using the Easypost API
• Accept cryptocurrency payments using NowPayments
• Use Strapi CMS for input fields and blog posts, making it easier to update the website without the need for a release
• Utilize GraphQL for API calls

Requirements

• Java 18 or later
• Spring Boot
• Strapi CMS
• Easypost API Key
• NowPayments API Key

Getting Started

• Have docker installed on your system (should be bundled with docker compose) the best way to do this is get it directly from the docker website
• Download the following docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3.5'

services:
  postgres:
    image: postgres:12.2-alpine
    ports:
      - "5433:5432"
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: crypto_shipping
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: crypto_shipping
      POSTGRES_DB: crypto_shipping

• With docker running, go to the file location of the previously downloaded yml and run docker-compose up -d (for some operating systems this might be docker compose up -d)
• From IntelliJ, click on Edit configurations and add a new environment variable DB_PORT the value should be the first part of the ports section from the docker-compose yml file, so for the file above it is 5433. Click ok, then apply then ok
• the Java version needs to be changed in two places.
  • In Project Structure -> Project Settings -> Project make sure SDK is set to version 18.0.1
  • In Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle change the Gradle JVM setting to 18.0.1 also
• Finally, on the right hand side of the IDE click Gradle -> Tasks -> dgs graphql codegen and run generateJava

Project should now run!
