KVision codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the RealWorld spec and API.

This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged fullstack application built with KVision including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more.

We've gone to great lengths to adhere to the KVision community styleguides & best practices.

For more information on how to this works with other frontends/backends, head over to the RealWorld repo.

The frontend part is based on the frontend only application, created with KVision and written in pure Kotlin/JS.

This fullstack version is using KVision server side interfaces with Spring Boot backend. It's based on Kotlin multiplatform architecture, with the common code shared between the frontend and the backend side, and automatically generated JSON-RPC endpoints.

The backend application is heavily based on Kotlin coroutines, utilizing Spring Webflux and R2DBC fully asynchronous and non-blocking services and interfaces.

The project is using in-memory H2 database during development and PostgreSQL when deployed to Heroku.

Make sure you have JDK 8 or higher installed. Check other requirements of KVision here.

The project is build with Gradle Wrapper. Run Gradle build with ./gradlew or gradlew.bat command.

Run in two separate terminals:

• ./gradlew backendRun - Starts Spring Boot backend server on port 8080.
• ./gradlew -t frontendRun - Starts a webpack dev server on port 3000.

Open https://localhost:3000 in a browser to work with both servers.

• ./gradlew jar - Packages a fat jar archive with all required files into build/libs/*.jar.

Run with java -jar kvision-realworld-example-app-fullstack-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar command.

• ./gradlew frontendTest - Run frontend unit tests defined in src/frontendTest/kotlin source files. Test reports are generated into build/reports/tests/frontendTest.

• See Procfile for an example of converting JDBC url to R2DBC url.
