🏗️ Architecture

This project follows a monorepo-style structure where both the frontend and backend live in the same repository:

Job-TS-v1-NextJs-SpringBoot/
│── backend/       # Spring Boot backend
│── frontend/      # Next.js frontend
│── README.md      # Project documentation

• Frontend communicates with the backend REST APIs for authentication, project/task data, and notifications.
• Backend uses Spring Boot with JPA/Hibernate to interact with a PostgreSQL database.
• Authentication is implemented with JWT and integrated into both frontend and backend flows.

🛠️ Technologies

🌐 Frontend

• Next.js 14 – React framework with SSR & SSG support.
• TypeScript – Type safety and maintainability.
• NextAuth.js – Authentication for Next.js.
• Material UI – UI component library.
• Tailwind CSS – Utility-first styling.

⚙️ Backend

• Spring Boot 3 – Backend framework.
• Spring Security – Authentication and authorization.
• Java 17 – Language runtime.

⚙️ Setup Instructions

🔧 Backend Setup

1. Install and run PostgreSQL locally.
   • Create a database (e.g., jobts).
2. Configure the database in application.yml:

server:
  port: 8080

## -Dspring.profiles.active=local

spring:
  servlet:
    multipart:
      enabled: true
      max-file-size: 50MB
      max-request-size: 100MB
  application:
    name: swap.be
  datasource:
    url: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/jobts
    username: postgres
    password: postgres
  jpa:
    hibernate:
      ddl-auto: update
      dialect: org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
    show-sql: false

jwt:
  secret: "QWx3YXlzLXNlY3VyZS1hbmQtc3Ryb25nLWtleS1mb3Itam90LTUxMi1zZWN1cml0eS0xMjM0NTY3ODkwMTIzNDU2Nzg5"
  expiredDay: 86400000

expiredTime:
  hour: 1

3. Navigate to the backend directory and start the Spring Boot application:

   ./mvnw spring-boot:run
   # or
   ./gradlew bootRun

The backend will run at: http://localhost:8080

🎨 Frontend Setup

1. Navigate to the frontend folder:

   cd frontend

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   # or
   yarn install
   # or
   pnpm install

3. Create an .env.local file for environment variables (example):

   NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:8080
   NEXTAUTH_SECRET=your_secret

4. Start the development server:

   npm run dev
   # or
   yarn dev
   # or
   pnpm dev

The frontend will run at: http://localhost:3000

---

🚀 Usage

1. Start both backend and frontend applications.
2. Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
3. Register a new user or log in with existing credentials.
4. Create a project, invite team members, and begin assigning tasks.
5. Organize work using sprints, backlog, and the Kanban board.
