What does this project template bring to the table?

• SpringBoot autoconfigured with:
  • Vue.JS
  • hot-reloading of both Spring and Vue for faster development

Requirements:

• Java,
• Maven
• npm
• Yarn

How to use?

1. yarn install to download all dependencies
2. gulp dev for interactive development
3. gulp package to export project as a fat-jar

On development mode how are things kept in sync?

Vue builds and exports files to folder dist/.

While developing, sync between dist/ (managed by Vue) and target/classes/... (read by Spring), is done by gulp watchers.

How does it create the full jar file?

Vue runs first and compiles/minifies javascript and style sheets to dist/. Maven will then pack that folder up as a configured resource.
