UXStudio Developer Challenge

Dependencies

• Java: 21
• Node.js: v20.17.0

Backend

The backend is built using Spring Boot with Kotlin and Gradle. An in-memory database with seed data is used for easy testing. Profile pictures are stored in base64 format due to the project's scope, instead of using a file system.

Testing

A start-app.bat script is provided for Windows users.

Commands for running the project

1. In the backend directory:

   ./gradlew bootRun

2. In the frontend directory:

   npm install
   npm run dev
