Building large scale application is more difficult than many people understand or expect. Join me in this long running series where I set out to duplicate one of the most popular social media platforms ever creating using Java, Spring Boot, Spring Security, PostgreSQL data, React JS web application framework and more.
In this episode we work on being able to view the lists in which people have added you as a member. To do this we first needed to setup a new repository method in the custom feed repository on the backend, as well as setting up the corresponding logic in the server and the rest endpoint in the controller. Then we setup a simple Lists you’re on page to display the lists we fetch from the endpoint we just created. For this lists you’re on page we setup a new top back that allows us to navigate back to the lists page, as well as see the users username. Then we setup a component to map out all the lists you are a member of and display them for our page. To wrap up we debug a couple minor visual issues and make sure everything is working as expected.
