Spring Boot + Angular 4 Example

Based on this aricle

An example-template project which uses:

• Spring Boot for backend
• Apache Cxf JAX-RS with autoconfiguration and package scanning
• Angular 4 frontend

Run options

First option - include frontent into backend

1. clean install frontend
2. Run BootAngularApplication.main() (or mvn spring-boot:run)

Frontend will be included as resources in backend jar.

Second option - run frontend and backend separately

1. npm start on frontend\src\main\frontend\package.json - starts frontend on 4200 port
2. Backend - Run BootAngularApplication.main() (or mvn spring-boot:run)

Frondend will be served and reloaded as you make changes, and you can restart backend and frontend independently.
