@hilla/cli

Custom project from Hilla

This project can be used as a starting point to create your own Hilla application with Spring Boot. It contains all the necessary configuration and some placeholder files to get you started.

Running the application

The project is a standard Maven project. To run it from the command line, type mvnw (Windows), or ./mvnw (Mac & Linux), then open http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

You can also import the project to your IDE of choice as you would with any Maven project.

Deploying to Production

To create a production build, call mvnw clean package -Pproduction (Windows), or ./mvnw clean package -Pproduction (Mac & Linux). This will build a JAR file with all the dependencies and front-end resources, ready to be deployed. The file can be found in the target folder after the build completes.

Once the JAR file is built, you can run it using java -jar target/myapp-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar (NOTE, replace myapp-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar with the name of your jar).
