Simple batch script that builds your create-react-app and Spring Boot together, making your Spring Boot application ready for production serving your React Page
You have to assign the two variables on top. These are your project directories (No quotes)
SET REACT_APP=
SET SPRING_BOOT_APP=
rem Building React app
cd %REACT_APP%
CALL npm install
CALL npm run build
rem Copying React build files to Spring Boot project. Spring Boot serves content in \src\main\resources\public by default.
xcopy "%REACT_APP%\build\*" "%SPRING_BOOT_APP%\src\main\resources\public\*" /s /e /i /Y
rem Compile Spring Boot application using Maven
cd "%SPRING_BOOT_APP%"
CALL mvn clean package
rem As React build files change everytime we build the react app, we should not keep them in our Spring Boot project. Removing:
rmdir /s /q "%SPRING_BOOT_APP%\src\main\resources\public"
rem Removing React build files from React Project
rmdir /s /q "%REACT_APP%\build"
rem Compilation done.
pauseYou can replace "mvn package" for "mvn spring-boot:run" if you just want to run the app.
Your react index.html will be served as your application root. Example: http://localhost:8080/
