This is my entry for the Ora coding challenge. It was fun to learn all the new features of the modern Spring stack with gradle. This project is using a number of Spring boot tools to speed up development. I took the opprotunity to learn a new workflow, using VS Code with gradle and CLI tools instead of relying on a full IDE. The last time I worked with Spring was a few years ago on a Spring 2.5 app so I decided to embrace the newer way of working and learn as much as I could about the framework. (a few things have changed since then)
This was developed on a Windows 10 machine

To run the application locally, you will need to have gradle installed and nothing running on port 8080.
- Install gradle https://gradle.org/install and make sure it is added to your system's Path
- Open up a command prompt and navigate to folder you would like to download the project into.
git clone https://github.com/smiles2424/oraMessaging.gitcd ./oraMessaging- Run
gradle bootRun - localhost:8080 will be listening for requests
Fire up Postman or the ole curl and start hammmering away.
I set up a user created on application start for testing. U: samuel P: thelastpasswordyouwouldguess
You're good to go!
Thank you for the opprotunity
