Hey folks! I’m curious about how you manage frontend development in your Java SpringBoot projects. I’ve been using Eclipse for my backend work, but I’m not getting much help with JavaScript, HTML, or CSS. No autocomplete or suggestions, which is a bit frustrating.
Are there any must-have extensions I should look into? Or should I consider switching IDEs altogether?
I’m thinking about using VS Code for the frontend stuff while sticking with Eclipse for the backend REST API. But I’d love to hear what tools you’re using and how you’re making it work.
Does anyone have a setup they really like for handling both frontend and backend in SpringBoot projects? Any tips or tricks would be super helpful!
hey there! have u considered using IntelliJ IDEA? it’s pretty awesome for full-stack development with SpringBoot.
the Ultimate edition has great support for JavaScript and other frontend tech. Plus, it integrates nicely with Spring tools. What’s ur experience with other IDEs? maybe we could compare notes on different setups?
yo, i feel ur pain! i’ve been there. tbh, i switched to vscode for everything - backend and frontend. it’s lightweight and has tons of extensions for java, spring, and js/html/css. plus, the git integration is sweet. maybe give it a shot?
In my experience, combining IntelliJ IDEA for backend development with WebStorm for frontend work has been highly effective. IntelliJ excels at Java and Spring development, while WebStorm offers superior JavaScript, HTML, and CSS support. This dual-IDE approach provides robust tooling for both aspects of your project.
For seamless integration, I recommend using a build tool like Maven or Gradle to manage your project structure. This allows you to work on frontend and backend components separately while maintaining a cohesive project.
Additionally, consider implementing a modular architecture, separating your frontend and backend code into distinct modules. This approach enhances maintainability and allows for independent development of each component.
