+## Building a Full Stack Polls app similar to twitter polls with Spring Boot, Spring Security, JWT, React and Ant Design
+
+![App Screenshot](screenshot.png)
+
+### Tutorials
+
+I've written a complete tutorial series for this application on The CalliCoder Blog -
+
++ [Part 1: Bootstrapping the Project and creating the basic domain models and repositories](https://www.callicoder.com/spring-boot-spring-security-jwt-mysql-react-app-part-1/)
+
++ [Part 2: Configuring Spring Security along with JWT authentication and Building Rest APIs for Login and SignUp](https://www.callicoder.com/spring-boot-spring-security-jwt-mysql-react-app-part-2/)
+
++ [Part 3: Building Rest APIs for creating Polls, voting for a choice in a Poll, retrieving user profile etc](https://www.callicoder.com/spring-boot-spring-security-jwt-mysql-react-app-part-3/)
+
++ [Part 4: Building the front-end using React and Ant Design](https://www.callicoder.com/spring-boot-spring-security-jwt-mysql-react-app-part-4/)
+
+## Steps to Setup the Spring Boot Back end app (polling-app-server)
+
+1. **Clone the application**
+
+	```bash
+	git clone https://github.com/callicoder/spring-security-react-ant-design-polls-app.git
+	cd polling-app-server
+	```
+
+2. **Create MySQL database**
+
+	```bash
+	create database polling_app
+	```
+
+3. **Change MySQL username and password as per your MySQL installation**
+
+	+ open `src/main/resources/application.properties` file.
+
+	+ change `spring.datasource.username` and `spring.datasource.password` properties as per your mysql installation
+
+4. **Run the app**
+
+	You can run the spring boot app by typing the following command -
+
+	```bash
+	mvn spring-boot:run
+	```
+
+	The server will start on port 8080.
+
+	You can also package the application in the form of a `jar` file and then run it like so -
+
+	```bash
+	mvn package
+	java -jar target/polls-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
+	```
+5. **Default Roles**
+	
+	The spring boot app uses role based authorization powered by spring security. To add the default roles in the database, I have added the following sql queries in `src/main/resources/data.sql` file. Spring boot will automatically execute this script on startup -
+
+	```sql
+	INSERT IGNORE INTO roles(name) VALUES('ROLE_USER');
+	INSERT IGNORE INTO roles(name) VALUES('ROLE_ADMIN');
+	```
+
+	Any new user who signs up to the app is assigned the `ROLE_USER` by default.
+
+## Steps to Setup the React Front end app (polling-app-client)
+
+First go to the `polling-app-client` folder -
+
+```bash
+cd polling-app-client
+```
+
+Then type the following command to install the dependencies and start the application -
+
+```bash
+npm install && npm start
+```
+
+The front-end server will start on port `3000`.
