sprouts-core is a part of the Sprouts Project that aims to use AngularJS as a front-end technology using Spring Boot as a back-end server in order to ease use case implementation.

The most important technologies that are being used in this project are, among others:

• AngularJS - as a front-end framework
• Spring Boot - as a back-end framework
• Spring JDBC - as a technology that permits access to relational databases
• Twitter Bootstrap - a famous CSS framework for styling the front-end resources
• MySQL - as a database engine
• Maven - as a build manager
• Swagger - as a tool for automatically generating API documentation
• angular-translate - as a package for i18n support
• Netflix Eureka - as a service for microservice architecture purposes
• zuul - as a gateway service between frontend and backend for routing purposes

In order to install spring-angular-api, there are a few obvious dependencies, such as:

• Java 8 - needed for running the project itself
• Maven - needed in case no IDE will be used
• Git - needed for cloning the repository
• MySQL - for database access needs

Please, note that this installation procedure is a quick-start installation and thus will not explain how to set up the project in an IDE.

For downloading and running this project, the following commands has to be run:

$ git clone https://github.com/jjxp/sprouts-core.git
$ cd sprouts-core
$ mysql -uroot < initialize.sql
$ mvn clean install spring-boot:run

For each microservice, the last command shall be ran in a different command prompt. The order is as follows:

• eureka-server
• backend-server
• frontend-server

After the former is performed, the project should be running at http:https://localhost:8080/
