Hi all. New to the JS party. Who can point me to a working tutorial for a Spring Boot Backend with Kotlin JS Frontend?

[Robert Jaros]

Not exactly a tutorial, but you can build fullstack apps with KVision and Spring Boot. You can find examples https://github.com/rjaros/kvision-examples and the guide https://kvision.gitbook.io/kvision-guide/part-3-server-side-interface

[Sourabh Rawat]

How about react Kotlin + spring boot backend?

[Big Chungus]

Just have your fronted as separate gradle module and copy its distribution over to WEB-INF when building spring fat jar.

[Big Chungus]

Even better yet, have a mpp project with spring and react source sets. This way you can even share domain objects when implementing rest calls

[Big Chungus]

For an example setup have a look at https://gitlab.com/lt.petuska/hazelcast-explorer

[Big Chungus]

Just replace ktor with spring boot on the backend and add kotlin spring plugins

[nino]

thank you, I think React Kotlin suits me best - I just had the impression that the official tutorial is deprecated and wasn't sure if the approach in general would be still state of the art.

@Big Chungus the project is very helpful, thanks

[Big Chungus]

Glad to hear it. PM me if you have any more queries regarding setup.

thanks
