shoppinglist

this application to play with Spring Boot and ES6.

The idea is to run:

• a backend serving shopping lists and endpoints to keep you own custom lists
• a frontend serving webpages ES6 javascript based.

It is using frontend-maven-plugin to translate ES6 into ES5:

• by installing node.js and npm
• running Webpack
• putting all your javascripts in a jar available for your backend.

It is using spring-boot to run the backend.

Compile

In shoppinglist-package directory: mvn clean install

Run

In shoppinglist-be: java -jar target/shoppinglist-be-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Test it running

In a browser,

• if ES6 javascript is successfully server by your Spring MVC then you will read 'Hello World!' from http://localhost:8080/index.html
• if your backend is serving the default shopping list then you'll get it in JSON format from http://localhost:8080/proposedItems

Setting up the project for ES6 with Webpack is done using well documented article on http://justincalleja.com/2016/04/17/serving-a-webpack-bundle-in-spring-boot
