Overview

If you're looking to set up a robust application environment with seamless integration between the backend and frontend, this combination of tools is impressive. The setup process is straightforward, allowing developers to easily get their application off the ground with a few command-line instructions. This is especially beneficial for teams aiming for efficient collaboration and rapid development cycles.

Features

  • Effortless Initialization: Start your application stack with a simple docker compose up -d command to launch essential services like the database, mailpit, and caddy.

  • Configured Backend: The backend is pre-configured to work smoothly with Docker, eliminating the need for complex setups and manual configurations for database connections.

  • TypeScript Generation: Automatically generate TypeScript types directly from your backend by utilizing a Maven plugin. This helps maintain consistency across your application structures.

  • Convenient Frontend Script: Easily update TypeScript types with a simple command (npm run update-types) in the frontend package, ensuring your types remain in sync with any changes made in the backend.

  • Annotated Type Generation: Types are generated only for entities annotated with @Client, giving you control over which types are included, enhancing flexibility according to your project's needs.

  • Seamless Integration: Integration of backend services and front-end development tools creates a streamlined workflow, helping teams focus on coding rather than configuration hassles.
