Movie Review System API

📌 Project Overview

The Movie Review System API is a RESTful web service that allows users to manage movies and reviews. Built using Spring Boot, JPA, and MySQL, this API enables users to perform CRUD operations on movies and their corresponding reviews. The system includes Spring Security for basic authentication, Swagger OpenAPI for API documentation, and Lombok for reducing boilerplate code.

🔧 Setup & Installation

1⃣ Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/lakshay1341/MovieReviewSystemAPI.git
cd MovieReviewSystemAPI

2⃣ Configure Database

Update src/main/resources/application.properties with your MySQL database credentials:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/moviereviewdb
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=root
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
spring.jpa.show-sql=true

3⃣ Add Users to the Database

To authenticate with the API, you need to add users to the database. Passwords must be encoded using BCrypt (strength 12). You can use the following SQL query to insert a user (replace username and password with your values):

INSERT INTO users (username, password) VALUES ('your_username', 'bcrypt_encoded_password');

4⃣ Build and Run the Application

Use Maven to clean, build, and start the application:

mvn clean install
mvn spring-boot:run
