Use Spring, and HAL Browser (for Spring Data REST) to create a couple of POJOs (Book and Person) and a framework so that we can mock up some data in spring, and then generate JSON and other marvels.

Run and then point a browser to http://localhost:8080/

Yes, that's right, you can do a very simple CRUDRepository in Spring to suply the data you need!

You're welcome.

Then open VSC on the SAME project. Go into frontend/SimpleMonday and find a simple Ionic 3 client, which can talk to the Spring server above, fetch a single GET from the server display the results in the People tab of the SimpleMonday client.

BUT to make this work, you need to go to http://localhost:8100 with the Chrome browser, and then download and INSTALL this extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cors-toggle/jioikioepegflmdnbocfhgmpmopmjkim That will allow the SimpleMonday client to load the JSON from localhost:8080 Otherwise the SimpleMonday client runs afoul of CORS (look it up).
