Skeleton: Gradle + Spring Boot + Angular2

Template project for projects using a Spring Boot backend, an Angular 2 frontend and a gradle build system.

Components

api

Java definition of the HTTP API. The code is annotated with Swagger documentation in order to allow automatic generation of the API client code.

backend

Spring Boot server backend, implementing the API.

frontend

Angular 2 frontend, using the API.

Usage

This project has development and production build modes.

Production build

gradlew build

Development build

You need an instance of the User Activity Manager running. For launching it please refer to its own readme.

Proxy Container

For the IAS to boot you need at least a simple jwilder nginx proxy container. Furthermore you need to be part of a swarm. Run the following commands:

docker swarm init
docker run -d --name ias-proxy \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro \
    --label "com.docker.swarm.service.name=ias_ias-apps" \
    --label "com.docker.stack.namespace=ias" \
    jwilder/nginx-proxy:alpine

TODO describe more advanced setup which makes also the ias-apps work.

Backend

Then start the server by running cc.catalysts.Application in your IDE. The app will be accessible at http://localhost:8080/catalysts/.

Frontend

Do a production build and then in a terminal run:

cd frontend
npm run gulp -- watch

This will build in development mode and then watch the TypeScript, styles and templates, rebuilding on changes.

Authentication

For mocking authentication use an HTTP header spoofer addon like ModHeader. Set the variables which are defined in the config under app.sso to whatever you like.
