Blog Web App

A full-stack blog application with a Spring Boot REST API backend and a React frontend. Supports role-based access control — Admin users can publish, edit, and delete posts, while Regular users can browse content and interact through comments.

Features

• JWT Authentication — register, login, and receive a signed token (7-day expiry, HS512)
• Role-Based Access — ADMIN and USER roles; admin-only post management enforced via @PreAuthorize
• Blog Posts — full CRUD with title, content, author, image (Base64), date, and category
• Categories — posts are classified as LOVE_POEMS, STATEMENTS, QUOTES, or POEMS
• Comments — authenticated users can create, edit, and delete their own comments
• User Profiles — profile picture (Base64), email, and account management
• Stateless Sessions — no server-side session; all auth is token-based
