This project can be used as a starting point to create your own Vaadin application with Spring Boot. It contains all the necessary configuration and some placeholder files to get you started.
Open the project in an IDE. You can download the IntelliJ community edition if you do not have a suitable IDE already.
Once opened in the IDE, locate the Application
class and run the main method using "Debug".
For more information on installing in various IDEs, see how to import Vaadin projects to different IDEs.
If you install the Vaadin plugin for IntelliJ, you should instead launch the Application
class using "Debug using HotswapAgent" to see updates in the Java code immediately reflected in the browser.
The project is a standard Maven project. To create a production build, call
./mvnw clean package -Pproduction
If you have Maven globally installed, you can replace ./mvnw
with mvn
.
This will build a JAR file with all the dependencies and front-end resources,ready to be run. The file can be found in the target
folder after the build completes.
You then launch the application using
java -jar target/registrations-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
MainLayout.java

package insrc/main/java

folder insrc/main/frontend
