GWizard Example (Vite)

This GWizard example demonstrates how to serve static content, built with Vite. It uses DropWizard's AssetServlet to serve static content. In this case, the src/main/frontend directory is a freshly-created vite project.

• /api is served by jaxrs rest resources in your app
• /* (everything else) is served the static content

This is great for small compact deployable servers. For major web application development, consider building your frontend and backend in separate repos and deploying them independently.

Running in Development

$ cd src/main/frontend
$ npm run dev

This opens up the frontend development server on http://localhost:9001/. Vite will hot-reload your javascript as you build it.

The vite.config.ts has been modified to add a proxy for /api so that your javascript running from the development server can talk to your real application (just like production).

Running in Production

This builds a self-contained executable jar which includes the vite-built static content as well as the API.

$ mvn package
$ java -jar target/gwizard-example-vite-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar test.yml
