Spring Boot Application with ReactJS, Spring Data JPA and Security enabled

This application is a lightweight Spring Boot and ReactJS outline application which can be used as the basis for your own apps

Building

Start the Spring Boot development server with hotreload as follows

$ mvn clean spring-boot:run -P hotreload

Now start the React development server (in the same folder as the package.json) and browse to http://localhost:3000 for hot-reload of the ReactJS app while you are developing

$ cd src/main/frontend
$ npm install
$ npm start

You can now make code changes in ReactJS and Java and the code will be hot-reloaded into the running application

Releasing

Once development is complete, simply run the following from the directory that contains pom.xml to create a release version of the application

$ mvn clean install -P react

If you don't want to use Maven to build the release version of the ReactJS app run the following in the frontend directory and then run Maven separately

$ cd src/main/frontend
$ npm run build
$ cd -
$ mvn clean install

You can now run the app using Java 8 or above as follows

$ ${JAVA_8_HOME}/bin/java -jar target/spring-boot-ldap-react-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

Jenkins

Install Jenkins from jenkins.io ensuring that the Pipeline plugin is installed. Install the following plugins

• Pipeline Maven Integration Plugin
• NodeJS plugin (https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/NodeJS+Plugin)

Configure Java and Maven and set the Maven installation name to 'maven_3_6_0'. Jenkins will install Maven and Java on demand.

Configure NodeJS in Global Tool configurations and set the installation name to 'NodeJS_11_4_0'

Create a new Pipeline project. Under Pipeline pick 'Pipeline script from SCM' and set the SCM path to your repo (or this repo for a test)
