The application allows users to upload images and view their image gallery. To upload an image, the user must select the image file and if the image file fails validation, the method redirects the user to the image gallery view with an error message. If the image file passes validation, the method saves the image to the postgres database and redirects the user to the image gallery view. The user's image gallery is populated by retrieving the list of image streams for the specified user using the ImageService. Each image is then converted to a base64-encoded string and added to a list of image pairs containing the image source and content type. The list of image pairs is then added to the model attribute " images" and displayed in the view. In all my application is a basic image uploading and viewing webapp that takes multipart files in and displays them on our front-end.

1. Install Docker on your computer if you haven't already.

2. Clone the project from GitHub:

   git clone https://github.com/olivermclane/TOGAR
   

3. Navigate to the root directory of the project (Should already be there if you cloned it).

4. Build the Docker image by running the following command: docker build -t togardatabase -f docker/dockerfile.yaml .

5. Start a Docker container from the image with the following command: docker run --name togarpostgres -p 5432:5432 -d togardatabase

6. Verify that the container is running by running the following command: docker ps

7. You've created the database and can move on to running the application.

1. Navigate to the root directory of the project.
2. In the terminal prompt run: ./gradlew bootrun
3. Open up your preferred browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/
4. Enjoy the application!

1. Each user is assigned a Unique ID Number
2. In the file-tree of the project, we can see the directory /images, double click it!
3. In the images directory, you will see each user has been created by the associated UID.
4. In each directory (UID), you will see the images they have uploaded.

1. Navigate to the root directory of the project.
2. In a terminal prompt run: ./gradlew test
3. The terminal window will run threw all the tests located in our testing folder.
4. Afterwards, it will tell you whether the test pass or failed, marked by a Build Faild or Build Successful.

1. Navigate to the Docs folder
2. Open the index.html in your preferred browser.
3. View/Search the java documentation.

1. Open a terminal prompt.

2. Type docker ps and grab the container_id.

3. Type docker exec -it {container_id} bash

4. Type psql -U postgres -d TogarData -h localhost

5. Dig around the database:

   a. Type \dt to view avaliable tables.
   
   b. Select * from user_image; to view images saved by all users.
   
   c. Select * from logindata; to view user instances
