Dog Adoption MySQL Spring

Technologies Used

Angular Spring Boot (Java) MySQL JPA (Hibernate) Maven

Overview

This is a full-stack application for a dog adoption agency, featuring an Angular frontend and a Spring Boot backend. It provides functionalities for users to browse available dogs and submit adoption requests, while administrators can manage the pet listings and process adoption applications.

Architecture and Structure

The project adopts a classic client-server architecture, with the Spring Boot application following an MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern for its backend.

Backend (Spring Boot Server)

Controllers: The AdoptionController manages API endpoints for adoption requests, while the DogController handles API endpoints for dog listings (CRUD operations).
Models: Data models like Adoption and Dog are defined as classes with JPA annotations to map them to database tables.
Repositories: Interfaces such as AdoptionRepository extend Spring’s JpaRepository to leverage automatic CRUD operations without writing boilerplate code.
Services: Classes like AdoptionService and DogService contain the core business logic, separating it from the controller layer.

Frontend (Angular Application)

User Interface: Designed with reusable Angular components. It includes dedicated sections like AdminComponent and UserComponent for different user roles.
Routing: Defines the navigation paths between application pages for a seamless single-page application experience.
