notifications-test-app

Web app to test the notifications service. It simulates a messaging app. When a message is sent from user A to B, B receives a notification.

Requirements

• Java 8
• Maven
• NodeJS
• NPM
• Grunt
• notifications-client-java

Compile

• Clone notifications-client-java repo and install it:

cd notifications-client-java && mvn install

• Compile this web app

cd notifications-test-app && mvn install

Run

To run this web app you first need to tell it where the notifications service is running. You can do that by creating a notifications.properties file in webapp/src/main/resources/. You can simply create a new copy of notifications.properties-template:

cp webapp/src/main/resources/notifications.properties-template webapp/src/main/resources/notifications.properties

Edit this new file according to where your notifications service is running.

NOTE: You will notice that this file has something like: appId= and appSecret=. These values are not used yet because the notifications service is still a prototype and there is no security protocol like oAuth or something like that.

This project has the REST API and UI in separated modules. To launch the REST API:

cd webapp
mvn tomcat7:run

Now to run the UI open a new shell in the projects root and do the following:

cd ui
npm install
grunt
