garage-services

This repository includes:

• A Java Swing desktop app (src/com/garage/GarageServiceApp.java)
• A Node.js Express backend (server.js) for optional API mode

Run as Desktop App (no localhost:5000)

1. Copy .env.example to .env.
2. Set database values in .env:
   • JAVA_DB_URL
   • JAVA_DB_USER
   • JAVA_DB_PASSWORD
3. Create tables:

mysql -u root -p < sql/setup.sql

1. Launch desktop UI:

.\run-desktop.cmd

Alternative:

npm.cmd start

This opens the Swing application directly and does not use a browser URL. The launcher keeps Maven artifacts under project-local .m2/.

Optional Email for Desktop Bookings

Set these only if you want email sending from the desktop app:

• JAVA_EMAIL_ENABLED=true
• JAVA_SMTP_USER
• JAVA_SMTP_PASS
• JAVA_SMTP_FROM
• Optional: JAVA_SMTP_HOST (default smtp-relay.brevo.com), JAVA_SMTP_PORT (default 587), JAVA_SMTP_SECURE

Notes:

• For Gmail, JAVA_SMTP_PASS must be a Google App Password (not your normal account password).
• For Brevo, use Brevo SMTP credentials (SMTP login + SMTP key).
• Java desktop email accepts either JAVA_SMTP_* or SMTP_* values from .env.
• Verify SMTP credentials quickly:
  • npm.cmd run verify:smtp

Optional Backend Mode (localhost:5000)

If you still want server mode:

.\run-project.cmd

or

npm.cmd run start:server
