Spring Boot 3 Thymeleaf Real-Time Web Application

Overview

The application showcases various features of Spring Boot and Thymeleaf, providing dynamic web page generation and user authentication.

Project Highlights

The BlogApp project, developed during the course, stands as a testament to my newfound skills in Spring Boot and Thymeleaf. Some of its highlights include:

• User-friendly blog application interface using Bootstrap CSS and Thymeleaf MVC.
• Implementation of two roles, ROLE_ADMIN and ROLE_GUEST, to manage posts and comments.
• Configuring a Many-to-Many relationship between USERS and ROLES using a joining table (user_roles).
• Establishing a one-to-many relationship between posts and comments for user interaction.
• Integration of CKEditor 5 for multimedia-rich content creation.
• Utilization of @Validation for form handling, ensuring data input adheres to specified rules and constraints for a more robust and secure application.
• Enabling secure user authentication and authorization using Spring Security, granting access to specific endpoints based on user roles.
