The Catalog microservice is responsible for maintaining a list of products, each with a name, description, and price. It was developed as part of a course project on creating microservices using RabbitMQ for communication between services.

• Programming Language: Java with Spring Boot
• Database: MongoDB
• Message Queue: RabbitMQ
• Containerization: Docker

1. Clone the GitHub repository:

git clone git@github.com:RedbeanGit/polyshop-catalog.git

2. Install Docker and Docker Compose on your machine if you haven't already. You can follow the installation instructions on Docker's official website: https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/ and https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/.

3. Navigate to the Catalog microservice directory:

cd polyshop-catalog

4. Launch Docker Compose to start the necessary containers:

docker-compose up -d

Now you can choose to run the Catalog service inside a docker container or directly on your host.

5. Build the Docker image for the microservice using the provided Dockerfile:

docker build -t polyshop-catalog .

6. Run the container from the image you have just builded:

docker run --name polyshop_catalog polyshop-catalog

5. Start Spring Boot application:

./mvnw spring-boot:run

List of routes/API endpoints available for this microservice:

• GET /products : Retrieves the list of all products in the catalog.
• GET /products/{productId} : Retrieves a product with the specified ID.
• POST /products : Creates a new product.

The Catalog microservice listens for all messages coming from the Order microservice (order-exchange) using the routing key order.checked in order to update its own list of products.
