+# Spring boot + groovy + ReactJS
+
+Minimalistic bootstrap of libraries to kick-start development. Groovy is added into the 
+mix for `spock` tests and to avoid tedious object mappings, 
+constructions and to allow for more readable code. 
+
+# What's inside?
+
+ - Spring Boot
+ - Groovy support
+ - Acceptance test module for REST API testing
+ - Docker/Docker-Compose ready
+ - ReactJS + Redux UI up and ready (from [react-slingshot](https://github.com/coryhouse/react-slingshot))
+    - Additionally added redux-logger, ant-design and proxy
+ - Travis ready :)
+
+# How to use?
+
+ - Pre-requisits:
+   - JDK 8
+   - Docker/Docker-Compose
+   - Node 7 (only if you wish to work on front-end)
+
+ - Usage:
+    - `git clone git@github.com:mdomasevicius/springboot-boilerplate.git`
+    - `gradlew build` - build
+    - `gradlew build -Pacceptance` - build and run acceptance test (requires docker/docker-compose)
+
+# Acknowledgements
+ - No security - since it varies per project basis
+ - No datasource capabilities - since it varies per project basis
+ - Hypermedia support is to be added but would be nice to have
+ - Jackson is not configured to handle some java types like `java.time.*`
+ - May need to configure [dependency-management-plugin](https://github.com/spring-gradle-plugins/dependency-management-plugin) 
+
+# Notes
+ - Rename packaging accordingly to you project domain.
+ - Anyone is welcome to contribute, just raise a PR
