Introduction:

This is a RESTful, CRUD web application that stores places of interest in a database and displays them either using a grid or a list layout back to the user.

The user can add, edit or delete places from the database. It uses the Play framework and the MVC pattern, and is currently configured to run locally on one's machine.

There is also a Scala implementation of this project here (rewrote it in Scala so I could learn Scala 😀).

How to run the web app:

To run the web app locally, start the MongoDB database using mongod and then go to the root directory of this project and run activator run. Once ready, go to http://localhost:9000 (if running for the first time, will need to wait a bit for the source code to compile).

Tech stack:

• Java 8
• Play framework (version 2.3.10)
• MongoDB (Morphia 3.2)
• HTML, CSS, Bootstrap 3, Twirl template engine
