As part of our group project for the ISIA course, we developed an application called EventIS with the goal of utilizing technology for socialization.

• Users can create and share their own events.
• Users can browse events posted by others.
• Personalized user profiles allow users to save favorite events.

🔗 Live Demo: EventIS

• Username: user1
• Password: 12345

For my individual assignment, I implemented the use case of browsing available events, selecting filters, and viewing event details.

1. The user navigates to the home screen where all events are displayed.
2. The user can select a category and apply filters.
3. The user selects an event to view more details.

• All events are displayed on the homepage, regardless of category.
• Users can browse freely and apply additional filters.

• Applying Additional Filters: Users can refine their search using checkboxes.
• Submitting Filters: Clicking the "Search" button applies the selected filters.
• Viewing Filtered Results: A dynamically updated event list is shown.
• Selecting an Event: Users can click an event to view detailed information.

• A. No Available Events:
  • If no events match the filters, a message notifies the user.
  • Users can modify the filters or return to the home screen.
• B. Searching Without Filters:
  • Clicking "Search" without filters will display all available events without a warning message.

• Spring Boot
• Spring MVC
• Spring Data JPA

• Thymeleaf
• HTML, CSS, JavaScript

• H2 (in-memory) or MySQL (configurable)

• Maven

The application follows the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture:

• Model: The Event entity represents an event with attributes like id, name, date, city, and price. The User class was added for database compatibility but is not used in this specific use case.
• View: Thymeleaf templates (events.html, event-details.html, error.html) for rendering UI components.
• Controller: Handles user requests and interacts with the service layer (ErrorController.java, EventController.java).
• Service: Implements business logic and communicates with the database.

git clone https://github.com/kristavlastou/SpringBootEventIs.git

mvn clean install

mvn spring-boot:run

Note: Database credentials are already configured in the application.properties file, so no further setup is required.

http://localhost:8080/events

The repository remains private for security reasons, as per project requirements.

• The homepage displays a list of all available events, unfiltered
• The user finds the "City" filter section.
• Selects "Patra" from the list of available cities.
• Clicks the "Search" button
• The event list updates, showing only events located in Patra.
• The user browses the filtered list and clicks on any event
• The event details page loads, displaying all the available information

For security reasons the credentials to the database have been removed from the application.properties
