Favicon from vue

[spearheadOne]

Hey guys,

It is not actually an issue, rather a question. How did you managed to replace default spring favicon with vue one? For my project I tried everything but it is still a spring one

Hi @abondar24, in the Maven build process, all the Vue.js frontend sources are build to classic .html, .css and .js files with the help of webpack & npm. Coming from a standard Vue.js template, these also contain a favicon.ico file. All these files are copied from the /frontend directory to /backend/src/main/resources/public/favicon.ico (see docs https://github.com/jonashackt/spring-boot-vuejs#backend) - that's all I did. Inside the generated index.html there's this line:

<link rel=icon href=/favicon.ico>

I guess, that's all the "magic". If you want to dive deeper into the topic, use Dr. google :)
