A Faster Way to Build React + Spring Boot Apps Using Hilla 1.3

Thu, 22 Dec 2022 09:59:35 +0000

It’s time to build a new web application. You’ve decided to use React with a Java back end, so you’re good to go right? Not quite.

There’s still a lot of work to do to set up a new project, configure your build tools, find good UI components, and create APIs for communication between your front end and back end.

What if you could skip all that work and focus on building your app and delivering features?

Hilla 1.0 - A new reactive frontend framework for Spring Boot backends

Wed, 09 Mar 2022 08:20:42 +0000

Hilla is a new framework for building reactive web apps on Java backends. It seamlessly integrates a reactive Lit TypeScript frontend with a Spring Boot backend. Hilla is built and supported by Vaadin .

Hilla is designed to be simple enough for small utilities, but robust enough to build complex, enterprise-grade apps.

Automatic Java to TypeScript Code Generation

Automatic TypeScript code generation helps ensure that the frontend always stays in sync with the backend, so you can build apps faster and with greater confidence, even when your team grows bigger. The strong type-safety also means you can explore server endpoint methods and their input and return types right from your IDE as you type.
