Overview

Jooby/Kotlin + Svelte/Bootstrap app template is a relatively lightweight modern app template that combines the Jooby framework for server-side API development with Kotlin, and the Svelte framework for building the user interface on the client side. The template also utilizes Bootstrap for styling and layout. This template is no longer actively used for new projects, but the author recommends Klite framework for server-side development with Kotlin and Vite for client-side development with Svelte.

Features

Server API using Jooby
Postgres database integration (runnable using docker-compose)
Liquibase for database migration
Server unit tests using JUnit5 and Mockk
Repository integration tests run on the same database instance but a different schema
UI built with Svelte and Snowpack
TypeScript support for UI development
UI tests using Web Test Runner and TypeScript
End-to-end tests using Selenide to drive the actual browser backed by H2 database
Efficient Docker usage with cached layers and Gradle dependency downloads
Static server-side rendered pages using Pebble templates
Automatic TypeScript types from Kotlin classes in UI API
Minimal dependency injection (30 lines)
Minimal JDBC extensions instead of ORM and transaction management (100 lines)
Simple client-side router used in the root component
Three layers of testing: UI (client-side components), server-side (unit tests + repositories), and end-to-end using Selenide
Rollback of repository tests to avoid recreating the database each time
E2E tests perform login once and then use fake login for quicker navigation

Summary

Jooby/Kotlin + Svelte/Bootstrap app template is a lightweight and modern app template that combines the Jooby framework with Kotlin on the server-side and Svelte on the client-side. It offers features such as efficient Docker usage, internationalization support, and three layers of testing. The template also provides a simple client-side router and minimal dependency injection and JDBC extensions instead of using ORM and transaction management frameworks. Though no longer used for new projects, the template serves as a good reference for implementing similar app structures.
