Quick Start with Example

This example has a "Hello, World" RESTful web service with Spring.

The service accepts HTTP GET requests at http://localhost:8080/greeting.

It will respond with a JSON representation of a greeting, as the following listing shows:

{"id":1,"content":"Hello, World!"}

Running

Spring Boot backend server

./gradlew bootRun

React Frontend server

cd src/react-frontend/
yarn install

# Option 1: to create a production build of the app and serve files on NodeJS server
yarn start

# Option 2: to start frontend client only
yarn start-client

Frontend Routing

The frontend server sends the index.html file in response for the / route, and Express.js serves all the files from the build folder generated by React.

Any requests to http://localhost:3000 with a slug, i.e. http://localhost:3000/goo123 would redirect to http://google.com.
