React JS: Lab#RE04-2

Deploying a To-Do backend server in different technologies

Introduction

• Class notes
  • Examples of using Spring Boot as the backend server

Warning

Overall

Define the use cases, user-stories and a mock-up of the desired features

Frontend

We’ll create a ReactJS client to retrieve the ToDo items and render them. It will include the business logic of managing the ToDo list (CRUD actions).

REST API

Let’s create a simple Spring Boot application that provides a REST controller for the Todo CRUD. We’ll test it with Postman.

noSQL

We’ll use a mongoDB collection stored in our cloud Atlas account for simplicity.

Further steps

Once this works, try to deploy your own mongoDB database and connect to it instead of the cloud.
