ReactMealsTS_BackEnd

This repository contains the backend implementation (in both .NET and Java) for my custom version of Maximilian Schwarzmüller’s React Meals project (as of 2023).

Frontend repo: ReactMealsTS_FrontEnd

---

Features

• NGROK support for secure HTTPS tunneling during development.
• EF Core with SQL Server for database access and persistence (.NET version).
• Auth0 Integration for authentication and authorization:
  • User registration and login
  • Claims and policies
  • M2M (machine-to-machine) access tokens

---

Technologies

🔹 .NET Core (default)

• Uses EF Core and SQL Server.
• Auth0 secret must stored in a plain text file m2m_secret.txt at the root of the project (should contain ONLY the Auth0 M2M client secret value).

🔸 Java Spring Boot (branch: spring)

• Uses Spring Boot with JPA (Hibernate) + HikariCP, by default connects to the same local MS SQL Server as the .NET implementation (uses different database).
• Auth0 secret and its various properties should be stored in a secret.properties file.

Note: for both technologies, the above Auth0 files are excluded from version control for security reasons, they must be created manually

Auth0 Configuration (secret.properties) for Spring implementation

Place this file at:

C:\Users\{YourUsername}\.auth0

And define the following properties:

auth0.domain=...
auth0.audience=...
auth0.m2maudience=...
auth0.m2m_clientid=...
auth0.m2m_clientsecret=...

Getting Started

1. Clone this repository.
2. Checkout the appropriate branch (master for .NET or spring for Java).
3. Configure your Auth0 secrets as described above.
4. Start the backend server.
5. Launch the frontend described at ReactMealsTS_FrontEnd.

Notes

• Do not commit any secret files (like secret.properties or m2m_secret.txt) to version control.
• NGROK can be used for secure HTTPS development tunnel.
