Project is done as a technical task example.

Stack: Java, Spring Core, Spring MVC, JdbcTemplate, Spring Validator, PostgreSQL, Thymeleaf.

Local library wants to implement digital accounting of books. You get the task to develop a web-application for that purpose. Librarians want to have the functionality of registering clients, issue books for them and unbind books (when the client returns the book to the library).

Approximate time to complete the task: 5-10 hours.

DataBase must contain 2 tables (entities) - Person and Book. For both tables id should be autogenerated.

• Page for adding, updating and deleting a Person
• Page for adding, updating and deleting a Book
• Page with the list of all people
  • Each Person is clickable - leads to person specific page.
• Page with the list of all books
  • Each Book is clickable - leads to book specific page.
• Person page - shows person entity info and a list of books currently bound to this person. If this person did not take any books yet, message "This person did not take any books yet." should be displayed instead of the books list
• Book page - shows book entity info and a name of the person, who currently has this book. If this book is currently free, message "This book is currently free." should be displayed instead
  • On this page, if the book is bound to someone, near to the persons name there must be a button "Unbind Book". This button is clicked by librarian when person returns the book to the library. When clicked, the book becomes free to take again and disappears from persons books list.
  • On this page, if the book is free, there must be a dropdown list (<select>) with all persons and a button "Assign Book". This button is clicked by librarian when someone wants to take the book home. When clicked, book must become assigned to that person and appear in persons books list.
• All fields must be validated with @Valid and Spring Validator if required.

Source code in this repository contains all required configurations and functionality, as well as entities, controllers, validators, etc. It is a fully complete functional project.

If you want to run and test it - you have to create a test database on your local machine and fill out missing fields in database.properties file (do not forget to remove ".origin" from file name). I have also added sql script file "postgres_table_creation_commands.sql" with commands to create the necessary tables.

Tomcat server or any other local server should be connected manually since the scope here is not to use SpringBoot functionality.
