The aim of this exercise is to write a tourism pass management solution. The system should allow customers to add, cancel, and renew a pass; it should also allow tourist attractions to verify if a pass is active. There is no need to worry about payment of passes. The system will be a RESTful application written in Java 8 (or later), using Spring or some other framework of your choice. Usage of Maven and other build tools are permitted.

The repository has a generic Spring boot RESTApi application with Mysql at the backend. API specification for the RESTApi's can be found here Docs

Some assumtions that were made on the business logic are:

• The Vendor will register using POST /v1/vendor
• The Customer will register using POST /v1/customer
• Vendor will create passes, for customers to add with pass_length and pass_city. Vendor can also delete a pass and validate a pass.
• Customer can get all valid passes and send a post to add passes to their account
• Customers have the option to renew passes by providing a pass length and cancel a given pass(Removes the pass from customers account)
• Passes become available when vendors add them and are not expired, expired pass dont show up in /allpasses

For building and running the application you need:

• JDK 1.8
• Maven

For database, you will need a mysql database with an empty Schema "lpgdemo" (This can be configured in application.properties)

1. Clone repository
2. Import maven project in IDE
3. Run mvn build command to compile the project

Make sure docker is installed in the system

1. Go to project base directory (/lpgdemo)
2. Run the following command to build a docker image: docker build -t 'repo:imageTag' .
3. Run the built docker image with the following command and use local database docker run -d --network host 'repo:imageTag'

There are several ways to run a Spring Boot application on your local machine. One way is to execute the main method in the com.lpgdemo.demo.DemoApplication class from your IDE.

Alternatively you can use the Spring Boot Maven plugin like so:

mvn spring-boot:run

To change the database values refer application.properties under resources used with executing the jar files as command line parameters

• The application is modelled so as to be scalable and modular with testing examples
• Its dockerized and can be depolyed as a container on any containerized platform
