Tasks Manager

Angular 6 and Spring Boot 2.0.2 are currently industry frameworks that have changed how developers in the Web front-end and back-end develop Web applications. In this project, we take a close look into integrating the two to work as a single unit. The two frameworks are built separately, in the case of a team environment, thereafter the build process packages the application into a single coherent JAR file.

Demo

Setup

Angular: To run the front-end application, execute $ yarn start. The application starts on port 4200 with a proxy to the backend on port 8080.

Spring Boot: To run the back-end application, execute execute the TasksApplication class from within Eclipse or IntelliJIDEA.

Integration

• Build the Angular project by executing: $ yarn build. This will build the project and copy build artefacts into the dist folder
• Thereafter, the dist folder will be copied from the front-end to the back-end static folder
• Execute mvn package to package the application into a JAR file. Jar file located in target/tasks-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar folder

Below are yarn script commands that are executed:

"build": "ng build --prod",

"postbuild": "yarn run deploy",

"predeploy": "rimraf ../resources/static/ & mkdirp ../resources/static",

"deploy": "copyfiles -f dist/** ../resources/static"

What's Next?

• Write Unit tests for both the back-end and front-end to complete the application
• Move the application to JHipster
• Write UI automated tests using Cypress
