7. Building a Real-Time Employee Management Project
This section covers the full development of a Real-Time Employee Management System, providing hands-on experience in both the backend (Spring Boot) and frontend (Angular).
- Project Overview:
- Design and develop a fully functional Employee Management System.
- Core Features:
- Employee CRUD Operations: Add, update, view, and delete employee records.
- Role-Based Access Control: Admin, Manager, and Employee roles with different permissions.
- Employee Search & Filter: Search and filter employees by name, department, and other attributes.
- Salary Management: Manage salaries, including bonuses, deductions, and salary breakdown.
- Leave Management: Track and manage employee leaves (vacation, sick leave, etc.).
- Database Design:
- Design the database schema for employees, departments, salary records, and leave requests.
- API Endpoints:
- Expose RESTful APIs for CRUD operations, employee management, salary management, and leave requests.
8. Front-End Development with Angular
- Employee Dashboard:
- Develop a dynamic user interface to display employee information, performance reports, and charts.
- Forms for Data Entry:
- Build forms for adding or editing employee details, submitting leave requests, and salary updates.
- Data Binding:
- Use Angular data binding to interact with Spring Boot APIs and display data.
- User Authentication & Authorization:
- Ensure only authorized users can access certain pages (e.g., Admin users can manage employees, while employees can view their own data).
- Real-Time Features:
- Implement real-time notifications for actions like leave requests or salary updates using WebSockets.
- Security & Validation:
- Implement form validation in Angular and secure the API with JWT in Spring Boot.
9. Integration of Spring Boot and Angular
- Full-Stack Application:
- Learn how to connect Angular as the front-end with Spring Boot as the back-end to build a seamless full-stack application.
- Data Flow:
- Fetch and display data from Spring Boot in Angular using REST APIs.
- Handle authentication and data exchange between the front-end and back-end.
10. Testing & Deployment
- Deployment:
- Package the Spring Boot application as a JAR or WAR file.
- Deploy the application on local servers or cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Heroku, etc.).
