I plan to set up a Spring-Angular application. I started right away with an Hello World
-example to test out how to set up the environment. What I ended up doing:
Creating a Spring-Project and creating an Angular-application within this application. Now I can access Spring-REST-Controllers
via the HttpClient
Angular Module. (Code example see below).
The advantage: I can use mvn package to pack the Angular- and Spring-parts into one jar and simply deploy it on my tomcat. Sadly, when I run ng serve
only the frontend is executed and I cannot access the data in my backend. Is there a way to set up my environment so that I can have the advantage of a one-project-solution and still use ng serve to test it out?
What I tried:
Pack the jar and execute it via terminal (java -jar %jar-file%
) and using localhost:8080/hello
as a path for my HttpClient
instead of a simple /hello
. That did not work out sadly.
The code I got so far:
app.component.ts
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
title = 'HelloWorld';
message: string;
constructor(private http : HttpClient) {}
ngOnInit() : void {
//this is where I tried to use localhost:8080/hello instead
this.http.get('/hello').subscribe( data => {
console.log('DATA', data);
this.message = data['message'];
});
}
}
Rest-Controller:
package com.example.helloWorld.controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
@RestController
public class HelloWorldController {
@GetMapping("/hello")
public String sayHello() {
return "{\"message\": \"Hello, World!\"}";
}
}
