baseDAO-dockerized: Enhance README with Swagger API Documentation Support and Comprehensive Docker Compose Integration

[benefacto]

Background The baseDAO-dockerized repository is undergoing significant enhancements for improved local development support. While it currently features a basic README and Dockerfile for containerization, the introduction of Docker Compose and Swagger API documentation integration requires a comprehensive update of the README to guide users effectively.

Issue The README, in its current form, is inadequate for developers, particularly those unfamiliar with the project or with Docker and Swagger. The addition of Docker Compose simplifies development, and the integration of Swagger API documentation offers a streamlined approach for API interaction. Consequently, the README needs to be expanded to include instructions and details for these new features.

Proposed Solution

1. Expand the README.md:

   • Project Overview: Describe the purpose, scope, and functionality of baseDAO-dockerized.
   • Prerequisites: List necessary tools and technologies (e.g., Docker, Docker Compose, Swagger) with installation links.
   • Setup Instructions:
     • Steps for cloning the repository.
     • Instructions for setting up Docker, Docker Compose, and Swagger.
     • Instructions for setting up Swagger.
   • Using Docker Compose and Swagger:
     • Guide on using docker-compose.yml including service definitions and Swagger integration.
   • Using Swagger:
     • Guide on using Swagger integration.
   • Local Development Workflow:
     • Explanation of making changes, building, testing locally, using Docker Compose, and documenting APIs with Swagger.
   • Contribution Guide:
     • Contribution guidelines, including coding standards, pull request process, and issue reporting.
   • Troubleshooting and FAQs: Solutions for common issues.

2. Integration with Docker Compose and Swagger:

   • Develop docker-compose.yml as per the requirements.
   • Integrate Swagger for API documentation accessible at the default route.
   • Ensure the README aligns with the Docker Compose and Swagger setup.

3. Integration with Swagger:

   • Integrate Swagger for API documentation accessible at the default route.
   • Ensure the README aligns with the Docker Compose and Swagger setup.

Acceptance Criteria

• The README should comprehensively cover all aspects of the project, including setup, development, Docker Compose integration, and Swagger documentation.
• Running docker-compose up should successfully set up the environment and run the application, with API documentation accessible via Swagger.
• The documentation should be clear and user-friendly, aiding both experienced developers and newcomers.

Additional Notes

• This update is intended to enhance accessibility and usability, encouraging more contributions and effective use of the project for local development.
• The focus is on clarity, simplicity, and providing all necessary details for a smooth development experience.
