Spring Boot and Angular

Overview of this book

Angular makes building applications with the web easy and Spring Boot helps get an application up and running using just a few lines of code and minimal configuration. This book provides insights into building full-stack apps using Angular and Spring Boot effectively to reduce overall development time and increase efficiency. You'll start by setting up your CI/CD pipeline and then build your web application’s backend guided by best practices. You'll then see how Spring Boot allows you to build applications faster and more efficiently by letting the Spring Framework and Spring Boot extension do the heavy lifting. The book demonstrates how to use Spring Data JPA and add its dependencies along with Postgres dependencies in the project to save or persist a user's data in a database for future use. As you advance, you'll see how to write tests and test a service using Mockito. Finally, you'll create a CI workflow or pipeline for a Spring Boot and Angular application to enable operations to deliver quality applications faster. By the end of this Spring Boot and Angular book, you'll be able to build a full-stack web application and deploy it through continuous integration and continuous deployment.

Summary

In this chapter, you learned that the frontend-maven-plugin and antrun-maven-plugin plugins can help you package your web client and Spring Boot application as one executable JAR file to make the deployment easy. You also learned how to run a JAR file on your local machine that helps you prepare your application for deployment.

In the next chapter, you will learn how to use GitHub Actions to prepare the applications for deployment. You will also learn how to use Heroku to create an instance of the database for the application and then deploy the application to Heroku.
