gHipster

Simple project to quickly start developing a web application using AngularJS and Spring boot. This configuration uses gradle and webpack.

Requirements

java >= 1.8
nodejs >= 5.0 (need ES2015 support)

What's inside

Backend:

Gradle
Spring boot
Spock test framework

Frontend:

Webpack
AngularJS 1.x
Karma/Jasmine unit tests

Frontend was copied from webpack-angular-es6

To do after clone

./gradlew build

This should invoke for you npm install and get frontend dependencies.

Developement mode

You interact with app on this address:

http://localhost:9090/

It's a webpack dev server which proxies requests to backend. If you go to localhost:8080 will be served static files from backend/src/main/resource/public so no changes in frontend dir will affect your ui.

backend:
```
./gradlew bootRun
```
or from ide:
```
run WebsiteApplication
```
When working with intelij IDEA you need to compile after each change to make auto-reload work :( Automatic restart
frontend: with cd frontend
```
npm start
```
This command starts webpack that is hotreloading and proxies all calls to /api/* to backend

Build distribution

This command will build fat-jar:

./gradlew build

Serve distribution

Start your distribution:

java -jar backend/build/libs/gHipster-0.1.0.jar
