I want to build a Spring-Boot-Application with Angular frontend. So I used the Spring-Boot-Initializer to build up a project and added a RestController for /greet/world. Then I created a new Angular-Project in my src/main-folder by executing ng new ui (including routing and css).
I updated the output-Path in my angular.json to the following:
"outputPath": "../resources/static"
Then I added the Http-Get-Request in my app.component.ts and ran the following commands to build the jar:
ng build --prodfrom my src/main/uicd %back_to_project_root%mvn clean packagecd targetjava -jar Jar-file
When opening http://localhost:8080 I see the usual Angular-Startup-Page and the following console-log:
What did I do wrong when including my frontend into the backend? Running ng serve from my src/main/ui works perfectly fine.
My app.component.ts:
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
title = 'ui';
constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }
ngOnInit() {
this.http.get('http://localhost:8080/greet/world').subscribe( (data) => {
console.log('DATA', data);
this.title = 'try';
});
}
}
My HelloWorldController.java package com.demo.example.controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/hello")
public class HelloWorldController {
@RequestMapping(value="/world")
public String greetWorld() {
return "Hello world";
}
}

Edit 1
I changed my output-path to ../../../target/static and then ran mvn clean package and ng build --prod afterwards.
Yet, this does not really save the day since these are not provided in the jar-file when running mvn clean package, but it solved the question for the moment.
Edit 2
I reworked my code like suggested and got the following stuff:

When executing mvn clean install from project-root I get the following error:
