Game List Backend

A Spring Boot server that uses Mapstruct, Lombok and Hibernate.
I used MYSQL 8.0.29, but any SQL database should work too.

Setup Instructions

• Download maven dependencies
• Setup an SQL server
• Create an application.properties file in the /src/resources folder
• Populate that application.properties file with the Database details (For an example file, see application.example.properties in the same directory)
• Create an empty Schema called some-games
• Run the project

Developer After-Thoughts

1. The spring initializer made it easier, but I still found it challenging to set the project up.

2. Some cryptic errors slowed me down. One error was caused by having mapstruct before lombok in the preprocessers list.

3. I may have overengineered this, I would like to know if there is a way to achieve this with less.

4. I hardcoded the CORS to http://localhost:3000 , this should be configurable but I'm not certain how to access environment variables inside Spring Boot yet
