A web application for comparing laptop specs.
- The application requires java 21, make sure you have at least openjdk-21, and maven installed
- The front-end is available in
localhost:8080/ - The application creates an in-memory database available at
localhost:8080/h2-console - You can set the credentials for the in-memory database with the following environment variables:
H2_USERNAME,H2_PASSWORD
The in-memory database is initialized from the data.sql file at /src/main/resources/data.sql
If you don't want to use the provided data.sql and want to initialize it from scratch:
- delete the
data.sqlfile - run the application with the command-line argument
create:./mvnw spring-boot:run -Dspring-boot.run.arguments="create" - this will scrape the reviews concurrently.
- you can change the number of concurrent connections to
notebookcheck.netin the fieldfoderking.speculate.Seeder.max_concurrent(if it is too high, you will get a lot of errors) - once it is done, you can log in to the online console at
localhost:8080/h2-consoleand dump the DB with the following commandSCRIPT TO 'data.sql' - this download the
data.sqlfile to the root directory. - you can move that to the resources folder
- NOTE: you'll need to edit the sql file to remove all those
CREATEstatements, otherwise, hibernate will give errors
Navigate to the root directory, open the terminal and run
./mvnw spring-boot:run
To compile it to a distributable jar file, run:
mvn package -DskipTests
This jar file would be located in something like target/speculate-0.0.1.jar.original
You can also go to the latest release and just download the jar
To hot reload when the application is already running:
mvn compile
