Getting Started

A CRUD program that uses React + Node + Yarn for the frontend, Kotlin + Spring Boot for the backend, and Gradle for the build tool.

Reference Documentation

• backend
• frontend

Requirements

• A Gradle Wrapper configured in this directory.

Description

The frontend sub-project builds an index.html file in its build directory. A custom task named processFrontendResources, and defined in the backend sub-project copies the previous file in the build/resources/main/public directory of the backend sub-project. The processResources task of the backend sub-project depends on this processFrontendResources task, to ensure frontend artifacts are included when building the WAR artifact: the bootWar task in the backend project automatically packages files in the ${project.buildDir}/resources/static directory into the WAR artifact so as they are publicly accessible.

Finally:

• Enter gradlew bootRun on a command line.
• Open a browser, connect to URL http://localhost:8080, and see the following page.
