How to run:

To start frontend, run shell commands:

cd frontend
npm run start

To start backend, run main class ua.training.quotes.Application

The application can store data in two different ways: in memory, or in a database. The default option is "in memory". To use a database: comment out profile setting in application.properties and run docker-compose up to start a database. Sample quotes stored in a file data.json. Sample user credentials: login - testUser, password - 1234.
