There are so many ways we can build Vue apps and ship for production. One way is to build Vue with NodeJS or Java and another way is to build the Vue and serve that static content with the NGINX web server. With Java we have to deal with the server code as well, for example, you need to load the index.html page with java.

In this post, we will see the details and implementation with Java. We will go through step by step with an example.

Introduction

Vue.js is a javascript library for building web apps and it doesn’t load itself in the browser. We need some kind of mechanism that loads the index.html (single page) of Vue with all the dependencies(CSS and js files) in the browser. In this case, we are using java as the webserver which loads Vue assets and accepts any API calls from the Vue.js app.
