spring4-angular2-t2ng

Demo project shows how to wire Spring4 and Angular2 using Apache Thrift (t2ng)

Important files:

• thrift/src - generated sources for Java, JS and TS
• thrift/idl - Apache Thrift IDL files
• thrift/generate.sh - runs t2ng in Docker and produces some files into src dir

Frontend preparation:

• make sure you have installed npm 3.10.8 or newer
• we took a well organized seed for Angular2 from: https://github.com/mgechev/angular-seed
• in order to use Thrift we had to put thrift": "^0.9.3 dependency into package.json
• assemble dependencies by: npm i
• we created simple shell script to link Thrift related files link-thrift-typings.sh. Run it from angular-seed directory
• make "noImplicitAny": false in angular-seed/tsconfig.json
• make "noImplicitAny": false in angular-seed/src/client/tsconfig.json
• add Thrift JS implementation to project dependencies at angular-seed/tools/config/project.config.ts
• start app: type npm start -- -b from angular-seed directory

Setup NGINX:

• just make a symlink of nginx/t2ng.demo to your NGINX sites-enabledfolder
• restart your NGINX: nginx -s reload

Build and start up backend:

• from spring4-angular2-t2ng directory type mvn clean package
• and then java -jar service/target/service.jar

At this point you can open your browser at go to http://localhost:8080

Type in input box any of ["manager", "programmer", "qa"] values in order to request corresponding person from service
