Integrating Angular and Spring Boot in one project and running on one server

 

  1. After creating spring boot project to create Angular project on the same folder :
    From root directory firstly go upper directory

    cd ..

    create new ng project with same spring boot directory name (example: bootang) , and i set src/main/app for Angular source

    ng new bootang -sd src/main/app
  2. Change output directory for Angular output in .angular-cli.json :
    "outDir": "src/main/webapp",
  3. Build angular app :
    ng build

    If you run with -w (watch) parameter, it will refresh angular build files.
    Like ng serve

    ng build -w
  4. Run your spring boot application and you will see Spring Boot and Angular runs on same server (default localhost:8080)I think this way is better/simple than JHipster ‘s lots of webpack configuration 🙂
