# Spring Boot Employee Management System API
## Overview
This repository hosts a secure and scalable employee management system built using **Spring Boot**. The system leverages **Spring Security** for authentication, **JWT** for secure token-based authentication, **JPA** for database interactions, and **MySQL** as the database. This API allows you to manage employee data efficiently and securely.

## Features
- **User Authentication**: Secure user login and registration.
- **Role-Based Access Control**: Different access levels for users and admins.
- **Employee CRUD Operations**: Create, Read, Update, and Delete employee records.
- **JWT Authentication**: Secure API endpoints using JWT tokens.
- **MySQL Integration**: Persistent storage of employee data.
- **RESTful API**: Easy integration with front-end applications.
## Technologies Used
- **Spring Boot**: Framework for building Java applications.
- **Spring Security**: Provides authentication and authorization.
- **JWT**: Token-based authentication mechanism.
- **JPA**: Java Persistence API for database interactions.
- **MySQL**: Relational database for data storage.
- **Maven**: Dependency management and build tool.
## Getting Started
To get started with the Employee Management System API, follow these steps:
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/justshuv/springboot-employee-management-system-api.git
```
2. Navigate to the project directory:
```bash
cd springboot-employee-management-system-api
```
3. Configure your MySQL database. Update the `application.properties` file with your database credentials.
4. Build the project using Maven:
```bash
mvn clean install
```
5. Run the application:
```bash
mvn spring-boot:run
```
## API Endpoints
### Authentication
- **POST /api/auth/signup**: Register a new user.
- **POST /api/auth/login**: Log in and receive a JWT token.
### Employee Management
- **GET /api/employees**: Retrieve a list of all employees.
- **GET /api/employees/{id}**: Retrieve a specific employee by ID.
- **POST /api/employees**: Create a new employee record.
- **PUT /api/employees/{id}**: Update an existing employee record.
- **DELETE /api/employees/{id}**: Delete an employee record.
## Authentication
The API uses JWT for authentication. After logging in, you will receive a token. Include this token in the Authorization header for subsequent requests:
```
Authorization: Bearer
```
## Database Setup
1. Install MySQL on your machine.
2. Create a new database for the application:
```sql
CREATE DATABASE employee_management;
```
3. Update the `application.properties` file with your MySQL database details:
```properties
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/employee_management
spring.datasource.username=your_username
spring.datasource.password=your_password
```
## Running the Application
To run the application, ensure that your MySQL server is running. Use the following command in your terminal:
```bash
mvn spring-boot:run
```
Once the application starts, you can access the API at `http://localhost:8080/api`.
