Motivation

We always find small snippets of code all over the net doing some functionalities. So how about getting everything all together(from Back-End to front-End) truly coupled up for our purpose. Sounds cool..Right. So follow the steps below and enjoy.

Getting Started

This project is solely dedicated for web hosting on Heroku. To make it live please follow the configuration steps for Heroku here

Prerequisites

1.OS: Windows
2.JDK 1.7 or above
3.An IDE for development (eg. Eclipse)
4.Git and Maven installed on your system
5.Heroku CLI to deploy on Heroku

Installing

To run only on local server please visit FactsBox.

Still if you want to make this project to work on your local system then make some minor changes:

1.Copy the project on to your local system and run the table script on your own database.

2.Import the repo to Eclipse as Maven Project.

3.Configure the connection file(JDBCConnection.java) with the driver settings of database whichever you are using here. alt tag

4.Change the URL setting(Properties.js) as per the URL configuration of the server you are using.

    var getURI = function(){
    var URL='https://factsbox.herokuapp.com/api/';
    return URL;
     }
 
	Eg. If you use Tomcat then it would look something like this:
      [http]://localhost:[port number]/Your_App_Name/index.html

5.Run on server.
As Heroku supports postgreSQL database for the application, this application has been fully configured on its terms. kindly change it as per your requirements.
