User Profile Microservice

Purpose

A small demonstration headless microservice implementing a RESTful API. It allows the user to create a user profile and one or more attendant appointments.

Prerequisites

• Java 8
• Docker

For a full list of dependencies, see pom.xml

Running the application

docker-compose up --build

Test in Postman:

Start the service in Docker and use a request such as the below to make a post request to http://localhost:8080/api/v1/users.

{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "firstName": "Testy",
  "lastName": "McTestface",
  "appointments": [
    {"roleId": 1234, 
    "roleDescription": "Dev", 
    "organisationName": "Devs4u"}
    ]
}

The application uses a PostgreSQL database which runs in Docker and automatically applies database migrations using flyway.

To explore the database in conjunction with Postman:

docker exec -it postgres bash

Then: psql -U postgres

Then connect to projectdb.
