In that sense Spring also has an impact on frontend. However, it is not a "frontend framework" as such, it is a java framework and can be leveraged wherever java is used.
There is a high demand for Java developers who use Springboot to develop backends. The second most in-demand backend job is that of a NodeJS developer, as it is easy to learn in comparison with Java, and a ReactJS front end developer can pick up this skill very easily.
I have Spring Boot as back-end and Angular2 as front-end. I want to develop both of them separately and deploy onto Heroku.
They shouldn't have any common dependencies and should be in separate git-repos.
As I understand, there are two main ways to implement:
run npm build and copy dist folder into resource folder of Spring application so last will handle it as a static content
run server for serving exclusively Angular app which will communicate with Spring app (CORS problem appears here?) so there are two servers at sum
I think first way is a bit "dirty" since I do not think that copy folder from one project to another is any good.
And second way is overkill because I have two servers (Tomcat and Node.js, for example). Why should I have server with Angular app if I can simply put Angular inside Spring?
Is there is any more rightful way to make aforementioned?
Thanks.
