In the post, we are going to create a simple Spring server application with Gradle build system with React frontend.
Hello World server application
Firstly, we are going to create a simple Java server application.
We use Spring initializr project to create a simple Spring application with Spring Web dependency.
We use Kotlin as a language and Gradle as a build system for the project.

- Run the following script in the
folder to check it:

npm start
- Build the React app with the following command:
1
npm run build
-
Put the result of it from the build folder into resources/static folder of the Spring boot application.
