builds a React App With Hilla
summary
A small React + Spring Boot app called Developer Favorite Things gets built from a Hilla starter, the backend exposes methods with browser-callable annotations that produce an generated TypeScript client and synchronous-looking promises, and the frontend calls getFavoriteThings, renders items, then posts new items to an in-memory store and sees live IDs returned. Type changes on the JVM force recompilation and Hilla updates interfaces for automatic type safety. Build works end to end, requires Java 21 for one API used, and Hilla also offers validation, security, streaming and a Bing copilot AI editor.
