Used any of the following SBT commands which will intern trigger frontend associated npm scripts.
sbt clean # Clean existing build artifacts
sbt stage # Build your application from your project’s source directory
sbt run # Run both backend and frontend builds in watch mode
sbt dist # Build both backend and frontend sources into a single distribution artifact
sbt test # Run both backend and frontend unit tests
- This seed is not using scala play views. All the views and frontend associated routes are served via React code base under
uidirectory.

- This file contains the build task hooks to trigger frontend npm scripts on sbt command execution.
- New and modified npm scripts of Create React App generated package.json.
- Check UI README.md to see all available frontend build tasks.

│ ├── routes
- The following route configuration map index.html to entry route (root). This should be placed as the initial route.
GET / controllers.FrontendController.index()
- All API routes should be prefixed with API prefix defined under
application.conf(Default prefixapiPrefix = "api")
Example API route:
GET /api/summary controllers.HomeController.appSummary
- The following route is being used to serve frontend associated build artifacts (css, js) and static assets (images, etc.). This should be placed as the final route.
GET /*file controllers.FrontendController.assetOrDefault(file)
Note: On production build all the front end React build artifacts will be copied to the public folder.
- Simply replace the ui directory with the build of your choice
- Make output directory ROOT/public/
- Implement a proxy to localhost:9000
