Fake Quanti s.r.o. blog API

This application is a simple API stub for the Java entry test. For more information on the task, see repository java-entry-test.

How to boot

Docker

The easiest way to boot the Blog API up is via Docker. As you can see, this application already has Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml pre-configured.

To boot the application, simply run docker compose up in the same folder as this readme file. The resulting docker container will expose port 8081, so to access the API you will be making requests to localhost:8081.

Standalone

In the case that you may want to boot the application without Docker, you may do so manually.

1. Build the application via Maven: mvn clean package.
2. Run the resulting target/java-entry-test-blog-api-1.0.0.jar. The application will also start on port 8081.

How to use

Blog API exposes a single endpoint /posts, which accepts GET requests and doesn't use any query parameters. The endpoint returns a JSON list of dummy blog posts, which you may use to complete the recruitment task provided to you.

Example of an item returned by /posts:

[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "title": "Eyeless in Gaza",
    "authorName": "The Albino",
    "summary": "He is only mostly dead. Not all dead. You can bring them back to life if they are only mostly dead. Now, give me that stick. There is nothing better than true love in the whole world. Except a nice MLT. Mutton, lettuce, and tomato when the mutton is nice and lean and the lettuce is nice and crisp. Ohhh you can't beat it.",
    "created": "2020-01-10T12:00:00Z",

  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "title": "The Lathe of Heaven",
    "authorName": "Count Rugen",
    "summary": "You mean you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword, and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people? It's not my fault being the biggest and the strongest. I don't even exercise.",
