Springboot Angular Photo Sharing Web App - Backend

This project was based on a course by "Get Arrays - Software Development Teaching Platform" https://www.udemy.com/course/building-a-restful-api-application-using-spring-and-angular/

This was a great project. A lot of troubleshooting was required throughout the project as well as the deployment. I did all the Heroku deployment including rewriting the backend Java code to connect to Amazon S3 storage to host user uploaded images (which Heroku does not support on their servers). I added some mobile formatting, UX improvements and other code fixes.

Things I learned about:

• Spring Security
• Amazon S3 storage and hosting
• Java Mail API for sending pre-formed automated e-mails based on a user action (ex. new user registration)
• JWT (JSON Web Token) Authentication and Authorization with Java, SpringBoot + Angular
• HttpInterceptors
• Web Caching
• Google Maps API
• Angular Resolvers (https://codeburst.io/understanding-resolvers-in-angular-736e9db71267)
