(parksnap_back/src/resources/application.properties)

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/parkSnap?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true

change localhost:3306 only if your database port is different (usually no need)

spring.datasource.username= Your mySQL username

spring.datasource.password= Your mySQL password

5. Run the backend

You can run the app by running the ParkingApplication.java file from your Java IDE. Open the file then use your IDE's run option. (src/main/java/com/example/parking/ParkingApplication.java)

Now, the backend should be running!

6. Open the parksnap_front folder (with VsCode or CMD/terminal)

Run in npm run start command (in VsCode ctrl+` will open the terminal)

Now, the frontend will start and a browser window will open. The link will be displayed in the console. Make sure the frontend port is 3000. Otherwise, the backend won't authenticate!

7. Login using test credentials
