Minimal example of an app running Spring Boot in the backend with a Vue.js SPA as frontend.

• Spring Boot Application with a single HTTP service

• Vue.js application with a sample component

• Webpack Build for the frontend including live reload for development

• API Proxy for the local frontend development server to target the locally running backend

• Maven Build for the backend which also wraps the frontend build

• A Dockerfile to create an image from the jar produced.

• Travis build instructions running the maven and Docker build

The following frameworks where used:

• Spring Boot v2

• Vue.js v2 / Vue CLI 3

• vue-router and vuex

• SCSS styling support

• Docker w/ a minimal JRE 11 base image based on alpine

TODO

• Contract first implementation using swagger, generated server interfaces and JS client.

• CircleCI build, as I prefer it to Travis these days

1. Run mvn clean install from the project’s root to build the complete application.

2. Run docker build -t wernerw/boot-vue-docker . or use your own tag

You now have a docker image containig your backend and your frontend. The generated API documentation is located at /doc/index.html

The docker image is pushed to https://hub.docker.com/r/wernerw/boot-vue-docker/

• To run the jar directly, use java -jar target/boot-vue-docker*.jar

• To run inside a container on port 8080, use docker run -p8080:8080 wernerw/boot-vue-docker
