Installation

1. Install node through this link if it isn't downloaded on device already

2. Install dependencies under package.json found in front-end folder with npm install

NOTE: Material UI v5 was used on the frontend and only works with React 17.0.2. There will be an error with any version of React 18 and above. Currently, the issue has yet to be resolved by the developers of Material UI. If the above error appears enter npm config set legacy-peer-deps true and npm i. The error is caused by the incompatibilities of the dependencies.

How to Run

1. Run the BookReviewApp (the backend)
2. npm start

Note: The backend needs to be running in order for the frontend to run properly. Frontend runs on port 3000 while backend runs on port 8080.

Accessing the Database

1. Run the BookReviewApp file

2. Access the database through localhost:8080/h2-console

3. Ensure JDBC URL:jdbc:h2~/bookDB

4. Enter 123 as the password
