It is, duh, a chat thingie

Build using kotlin and spring boot in the backend and es6 and vue in the the front

Needed tools

Have some editor with kotlin support (intellij/eclipse) and a decent javascript editor with some plugins like linter support (visual code)

Backend is build with maven (mvn) and the front with yarn (yarn)

Build

There are two type of builds dev and prod. First start by installing all javascript dependencies (aka downloading half the internet) by runnin yarn

Dev build

Run the DevProxyMode main class and then run yarn run dev. All connections (http/ws) will now be proxied through webpack. So you get the fun of hot reload and all that, but still use the proper api calls in the back. The frontend server will run on port 8080 and the backend on port 1234

Prod build

First build the frontend yarn run build. This will produce a minified and all that file and other needed files (css, index.html,...) in the resources directory so that the spring boot app can server it. To build an executable jar run mvn clean install. Tada you have a jar you can deploy

Tests

As good as none, and i am pretty sure the js one doesn't work. Feel free to mess with webpack to get it to work :D.

Deploy

Run the jar and server ll boot. For added safety, please run over https/wss.
