Flashcards

Development

Dependencies

• Java 8
• Maven 3
• NodeJS
• Yarn

Architecture

The application consists of two main subsystems:
A Spring Boot server-side module and an AngularJS-based frontend module packaged into a single executable WAR with Maven.
Frontend assets are automatically generated by Webpack.

Database

For quick development purposes, the application uses an embedded HSQLDB instance to persist data. This instance will be automatically fired up when you start the application.

Development Guide

• Install frontend dependencies. Go to flashcard-ui/src/main/ui and execute the following:

yarn

• Start the Spring Boot server
• Open a console and start the Webpack Dev Server with

yarn devstart

• Open your browser at http://localhost:10000/flashcard/

The Spring Boot DevTools dependency will make sure to reload your Java classes automatically, while Webpack Dev Server will regenerate webpack bundles when any of the frontend assets change.
