WebApp Tutorial

This is tutorial material for building web apps with Spring Boot, Spring Data Rest, AnguluarJS and TypeScript.

Used Technologies

• Java 7 or 8

• HAL (Hypertext Application Language)

• Spring Boot (+ Data, REST, HATEOAS)

• TypeScript for web client

• AngularJS for web client

• JUnit for Java unit and integration testing

• Mockito for Mocking

• Gradle as build system

• NPM, Grunt, Bower, TSG for the web client build

Requirements

• Java 7 or 8 (JDK) installed

• Node.js installed

  • Grunt CLI installed (npm install -g grunt-cli)

  • Bower installed (npm install -g bower)

  • TSD installed (npm install -g tsd)

In the vagrant directory you find a Vagrantfile to create a (German) development environment.

• Install Vagrant and VirtualBox

• Invoke "vagrant up" in a terminal

• Wait for 20 minutes letting Vagrant create the whole virtual machine

• In the VM, log in as vagrant/vagrant and then invoke: startx

• The latest Ubuntu with a simple desktop will start up

• You find this project at /home/vagrant/webapp-tutorial

• All Gradle and JavaScript dependencies are already in the VM

• You find an IntelliJ IDEA trial under /opt

• Before starting IntelliJ you have to configure the Java 8 JDK

• After starting IntelliJ you have to install the Lombok plugin manually.

Getting Started

When you want to run the tutorial locally, prepare all the labs:

• ./gradlew prepareJs (invokes npm install, bower install, tsd reinstall on all JavaScript projects)

• ./gradlew clean build (builds all the tutorial labs (Java parts), runs all the Java tests)
