templates-javafx-react

This is a sample JavaFX+react frontend project. The react application is meant to appear in the JavaFX as an iframe.

Quick Start

Run gradlew run to start the frontend. The application should appear in a separate window.

Deployment

Run gradlew build to:

1. Install required npm packages (npmInstall).
2. Build the React application (npmBuild).
3. Copy the React output to the JavaFX resource directory.
4. Build the JavaFX application to produce a jar executable in build/libs.

Note

• Incremental Build: If no changes are detected in the React working directory, Gradle skips the npm tasks (npmInstall and npmBuild).
• Automation: Ensures the JavaFX project always use the latest React application during the build process.

Directory Details

• React Working Directory: Defined in the node configuration of build.gradle.
• JavaFX Resource Path: Defined in the copyReactBuild task in build.gradle. Currently configured to src/main/resources/webapp.
