Full stack setup with React, Dropwizard and Docker

Full stack experiment

Circle CI

An experiment with creating a full stack application with React, Dropwizard, Ebean, RabbitMQ and Docker.

Javascript frontend

See common/common-client and todo/todo-client.

Setup

  1. Install Node.js and npm.
  2. Globally install Grunt CLI: npm install -g grunt-cli
  3. Install dependencies in project root: npm install (Maven will also automatically do this when running mvn install.)

Running

The frontend is automatically bundled into the backend when that is built, so it is only necessary to run this directly when developing.

Run grunt dev and open http://localhost:8080

Tests

Run with grunt test, maven test, or via an IDE.

IntelliJ

Create Mocha run configurations and point them at the test folder in each project. See the Grunt setup for the options needed.

Java backend

See common/common-server and todo/todo-server.

Setup

  1. Install Java 8 JDK.
  2. Install Maven 3.
  3. Install RabbitMQ (also needs the Erlang VM).
  4. Install Docker (or Docker Toolbox).

Running server

Run mvn install in the root of the project and then java -jar todo\todo-server\target\todo-server-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar server todo\todo-server\config\config.yml.

IntelliJ

Create an IntelliJ run configuration for TodoListApplication, then add program arguments: server todo\todo-server\config\config.yml and VM options: -javaagent:$USER_HOME$\.m2\repository\org\avaje\ebeanorm\avaje-ebeanorm-agent\4.5.3\avaje-ebeanorm-agent-4.5.3.jar

Running message queue workers

As above, but with the argument workers instead of server.

Tests

Run maven test or via an IDE. The browser used for integration tests can be selected via the WEBDRIVER environment variable, either Firefox or Chrome (the default). PhantomJS is unfortunately not supported as it uses an old version of Selenium which causes classpath issues.

IntelliJ

When creating run configurations for tests, add the same VM options as above.

You can make this the default by adding it under Run - Edit Configurations - Defaults - JUnit.

FAQ

What's with the Java agent when running in IntelliJ?

It ensures that Ebean can process the classes that are persisted, even when not running via Maven (where a plugin handles it as part of the build).
