Spring Boot Starter - Single Page App

Zero configuration single page app configuration for spring boot

Why?

Single Page Apps require one thing: return index.html on HTML request.

Sometimes it's wise to separate your apps (api backend & frontend backend + frontend) - but then you'll have to deal with versioning both aps in compatible way.

For simple use cases it's totally ok to have spring-boot serve your SPA application (build i.e. by webpack).

Spring-boot does not support this feature out of the box. I've found multiple workarounds (404 page filters, manual file checking etc.) and decided to make no-brainer library to handle this problem.

Usage

Add library dependency:

compile "com.github.bgalek.spring.boot:spring-boot-starter-spa:1.1.0"

Copy your fontend application to /public or /static folder during your app build phase.

Compatibility

This configuration won't affect your:

• API calls (registered Controllers)
• Existing static files
