Description

This project demonstrates the creation of a RESTful API for managing quotes. The API is built using Spring Boot and utilizes an SQL database to store quotes. It provides endpoints to retrieve, create, update, delete, and even retrieve random quotes.

Features

• Retrieve a list of all quotes.
• Create a new quote.
• Update an existing quote.
• Delete a quote.
• Retrieve a random quote.

Endpoints

• GET /api/quotes: Retrieve a list of all quotes.
• GET /api/quotes/{id}: Retrieve a specific quote by ID.
• POST /api/quotes: Create a new quote.
• PUT /api/quotes/{id}: Update an existing quote.
• DELETE /api/quotes/{id}: Delete a quote.
• GET /api/quotes/random: Retrieve a random quote.

Database Table

The quotes are stored in an SQL table named quotes. Here is the conceptual structure of the quotes table:

• id (Primary Key)
• author (String)
• text (String)
• source (String, optional)
• dateCreation (Date/Time)
• dateUpdate (Date/Time)

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository.
2. Configure your database settings in application.properties.
3. Build and run the project using your preferred IDE or command line.
4. Access the API using the provided endpoints.

Usage

1. Retrieve a list of all quotes: GET /api/quotes
2. Retrieve a specific quote: GET /api/quotes/{id}
3. Create a new quote: POST /api/quotes
4. Update an existing quote: PUT /api/quotes/{id}
5. Delete a quote: DELETE /api/quotes/{id}
6. Retrieve a random quote: GET /api/quotes/random
