Java/Spring Boot learning project for a notes web application.

This repository is part of my backend learning path. It is not a commercial project. I keep it public because it shows my practice with Spring Boot, CRUD workflows, persistence, migrations, server-rendered UI, and basic authentication.

What It Does

• User registration and login
• Notes list page
• Create, edit, and delete notes
• Server-rendered pages with Thymeleaf
• PostgreSQL persistence with Spring Data JPA
• Database migrations with Flyway
• Basic Spring Security configuration

Tech Stack

• Java 17
• Spring Boot 3
• Spring MVC
• Spring Security
• Spring Data JPA
• Thymeleaf
• PostgreSQL
• Flyway
• Gradle

Main Routes

• GET /registration - registration form
• GET /login - login form
• GET /note/list - notes list
• GET /note/add - add note form
• POST /note/add - create note
• GET /note/edit?id={id} - edit note form
• POST /note/edit - save note
• POST /note/delete - delete note

Local Setup

Create a local PostgreSQL database, then copy src/main/resources/application.example.properties to src/main/resources/application.properties and adjust credentials.

Example:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/todolist
spring.datasource.username=postgres
spring.datasource.password=postgres
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=validate
spring.jpa.show-sql=true
spring.flyway.enabled=true

Run:

./gradlew bootRun

Status

Learning project. The next useful improvements would be a cleaner README with screenshots, test coverage, validation, and a Docker Compose setup for PostgreSQL.
