CareFlow App - Build and Deployment Guide

This README provides a quick overview of how to clone the CareFlow repository, build it into an executable JAR, and deploy it to different environments (e.g., test and production).

---

1. Cloning the Repository

git clone https://github.com/ReniIrinyi/CareFlow.git
cd CareFlow

2. Building the JAR File

1. Create a JAR Artifact

   • In your IDE, go to File → Project Structure → Artifacts.
   • Create a JAR artifact (e.g., <ArtifactName>).
   • Specify the path to the main class (e.g., Main.kt).

2. Include Resources

   • Place your CSS files, .txt files, and any other resources into the resources folder so they will be automatically included in the JAR.

3. Build the JAR

   • In your IDE, select Build → Build Artifacts → → Build.
   • The generated JAR will typically appear in:

     out/artifacts/<ArtifactName>
     

   • This JAR contains all classes and resources required to run the application.

3. Deployment Steps

1. Test Environment

   • Run the generated JAR locally or on a test server:

     java -jar <ArtifactName>.jar

   • Confirm that configuration files (e.g., application.properties) and environment variables are correct.

2. Production Environment

   • Copy or upload the JAR file to your production server.
   • Adjust all production-specific settings (database URL, credentials, ports, etc.).
   • Launch the JAR:

     java -jar <ArtifactName>.jar

3. Monitoring & Maintenance

   • Watch the application logs for errors or warnings.
   • Restart or update the service as needed.

Note:
Adjust repository URL, file paths, and artifact names as appropriate for your specific environment.
