Semestral Work - Server (Social Network)

Overview

This project involves a server for a social network application, featuring functionalities for managing user posts, including complex operations such as co-authorship. Users can create posts and set other users as co-authors. When a post is created with a co-author, the post is also created for the co-author with added text. The condition for setting a co-author is that the users must follow each other.

Additional Query: Calculate the total number of likes for posts where the user is set as a co-author. (The text will include "coauthor: username".)

Server Information

This server is designed for a social network application and uses Docker for data management. The database is configured in application.properties with create-drop, meaning data will be deleted after each restart. Authorization is implemented but only at the server-client level; it is not secure, which is sufficient for the application's intended functionality.
