JWS-fullstack-starter

A scaffold for you, to start your new fullstack project with. It uses JavaWebStack and Vite (Vue 3.X) to create a fullstack application which is comfortable to use while developing and also easy to deploy afterwards.

Features

• Backend using JavaWebStack
• Frontend using VueJS
• Hot Reload of Frontend while developing
• No need for special proxy configurations, because the Frontend runs on the same domain
• A single jar to deploy

How to use

• Create your new project with this template
• Run the run configuration Build or mvn clean package which will install node, dependencies and builds a fully deployable application.
• Run the run configuration Start Backend or launch the Bootstrap class to start up the backend
• Run the run configuration Start Frontend or npm run dev which will watch for all changes in the Vue sources

IDE Recommendation

For the best experience I recommend IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, which has excellent support for Java, JavaScript and Vue

I don't like Vue...

Just generate a new project using Vite in the src/main/javascript/ directory using your preffered Frontend Framework and copy over the package.json scripts and vite.config.js configuration.
