vhr, also called Micro HR ("微人事"), is a human resources management system written by a Chinese open-source author. The README and description are mostly in Chinese; the project itself is a worked example of a real-world business application with a separated front end and back end, and it is also used as a teaching scaffold. The author notes that the project has since been rebuilt with SpringBoot 3 plus Vue 3 in a separate repo called vhr2.0, and that anyone wanting a more complete business product can look at a sister project called TienChin. In plain terms, the software is the kind of internal tool a company would use to manage employees: there is a login page, different users see different menus based on their role, an administrator assigns roles to users and decides which resources each role is allowed to operate on, and there are screens for department management, job title and position management, employee records, salary account setup, employee chat, Excel import and export of employee data, and a welcome email sent automatically when a new user is added. The README lists the technology stack directly. The back end uses Spring Boot, Spring Security, MyBatis, MySQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, Spring Cache, and WebSocket. The front end uses Vue, ElementUI, axios, vue-router, Vuex, WebSocket, and vue-cli4. Database setup is handled by Flyway so the schema is created automatically rather than by importing scripts by hand. You would use this project if you are learning how to build a Spring Boot plus Vue application end to end and want a moderately sized, working reference that covers permissions, messaging, caching, and email along with a typical HR feature set. The full README is longer than what was provided.
