backend-coding-challenge

The goal of this challenge is to implement a REST API for Property entities, while improving the existing base code. Don't just focus on .java files, there could be things to improve or fix anywhere in the project.

Please start by initializing a local Git repository and making an initial commit. Then take the time to skim through the code and add comments as you see fit before getting too deep into coding, this is a timed exercise, you may not be able to implement and/or fix everything, so a comment is better than nothing.

Commit as often as possible. Don't worry about the commit messages, we mostly care about the time progression.

Spin up MySQL 8.0:

docker run -e "TZ=UTC" -e "MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=secret" --name mysql -p 3306:3306 mysql:8.0.22

Initilize the database:

mvn flyway:migrate

If you are not familiar with Flyway migrations, the database seed is src/main/resources/db/migration/V1__baseline.sql.

comments about code =>

• exposed attributes are encapsulated
• create endpoints
• validations in class Property by annotations
• calculations inside PropertyReport's class
• service class unit tests because that is where the main logic is
• creating packages for file types
• create handlerException

I would have liked to add more unit tests, get to insert address and recover it, the alert thing
