Student-Management-App

Introduction

This simple Student Application allows users to add and view student information. The application has a backend built with Spring Boot and a frontend developed using React, React hooks and Material UI. It uses MySQL as the database to store student data. Postman API is used for testing the backend API endpoints. XAMPP is used to run the MySQL server locally.

Prerequisites

• Java Development Kit (JDK)
• Node.js and npm (for React)
• MySQL Database
• XAMPP or a similar tool for managing MySQL locally

Getting Started

2. Or Use Spring Initializer to create a new Spring Boot project with Maven. Choose the necessary dependencies, including Spring Web and Spring Data JPA, MySQL.
3. Configure your MySQL database connection in the application.properties file, located in the src/main/resources directory. Modify the spring.datasource.url, spring.datasource.username, and spring.datasource.password properties to match your database setup.
4. Build and run the Spring Boot Application.

Frontend

1. Open the student-frontend project in Visual Studio Code or your preferred code editor.
2. Start the React development server: npm start
