Get the Application Up and Running
Adding the Route to the Main View
We previously created a main-view
design with a companion Java file.
Now we need to make the view accessible by adding the @Route
annotation to the companion Java file.
-
Expand the
src/main/java/com.example.application
package and openMainView.java
. -
Add the
@Route("")
annotation at the beginning of theMainView
class.
Your MainView
class should now look like this:
@Tag("main-view")
@JsModule("./src/views/main-view.ts")
@Route("")
public class MainView extends LitTemplate {
public MainView() {
}
}
The @Route
annotation maps http://localhost:8080/ to MainView
.
Running the Project
Next, we run the project to see what the new layout looks like.
The easiest way to run the project for the first time is to:
-
Open the
Application
Java class insrc/main/java/com/example/application/Application.java
-
Click the green play button next to the line which starts with
public class Application
.
This starts the application and automatically adds a run configuration for it in IntelliJ IDEA. Later, when you want to run or restart the application, you can build, run/restart, stop and debug the application from the toolbar:
When the build is finished and the application is running.
Open http://localhost:8080/
in your browser to see the result.
Proceed to the next chapter to connect your views to Java: Connecting your Main View to Java.
