#Movie Rating service

RESTful microservice, powered by Spring Boot, one-button bootstrap, can benefit from Redis datastore to optimise movie ranking on-the-fly, in-memory H2 database, which can simply be replaced by MongoDB or any other DB with a few lines of code.

##To run the program:

• Clone this repository

• ./gradlew bootRun

##Available options:

-Dserver.port - port for this application

-Dpath - path to file with input data

-Dredis - use Redis for rating service, needs Redis running locally on 6379

##To enable Redis:

a) Install Redis locally (default port - 6379)

OR

b) Install Docker with Compose and run:

docker-compose up -d

Start service with -Dredis=true:

./gradlew bootRun -Dredis=true

##RESTful API:

Thanks to Spring HATEOAS, the service provides easy access to the state:

NB! JSONView plugin for chrome is highly recommended: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jsonview/chklaanhfefbnpoihckbnefhakgolnmc/related?hl=en

Movie API will be available at http://localhost:8080/movies + {?page,size,sort}

Movie search API reference will be available at http://localhost:8080/movies/search

Current rankings available at http://localhost:8080/movies/rankings

##Bonus:

Spring Rest Repositories also support updating/inserting entities via REST:

$ curl -X POST -i -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"year":"1989", "rating":"100", "title":"Westworld"}' http://localhost:8080/movies
