A starter app for AngularJs and Java
This is a clean skeleton for an application that uses AngularJs for front end and Java for back end.
There is pretty much no code in there, just the necessary files to start developing straight away.
On the back end, Spark is used to create a very basic embedded server.
Getting Started
Use git to clone this repository.
git clone git@github.com:jonasrenault/angular-startr.git
Install Dependencies
bower install & npm install
Run the Application
Dev
The angular part of the application was generated using the yeoman generator for AngularJS.
Run grunt serve for preview. This will start an http server with livereload to serve your Angular app. This server is configured to proxy requests
on /app to htpp://0.0.0.0:8080. A browser window should open automatically once the server is ready.
Run the App class as a Java main class from your IDE. It will start a server that listens on http://0.0.0.0/8080
Prod
Run mvn clean install -Pprod. This will first execute a grunt build that will prepare your angular app for production in src/main/webapp/dist and
copy it to target/webapp. It will then package both the angular app and the Java backend in an executable jar.
The App.java class is configured to serve static files in target/webapp.
Execute java -jar target/start-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
