Interface BackgroundApp

All Known Subinterfaces:
MicronautContextAware
All Known Implementing Classes:
NoopBackgroundApp
public interface BackgroundApp
A background application that is started before the foreground app and can communicate with the foreground app. The background application is started before the UI toolkit is initialized and can make its first network requests simultaneously with loading the UI toolkit and the foreground UI application. In the JavaFX implementation this is an alternative to the PreLoader, which was essentially designed for applications that start synchronously. In an asynchronous/reactive JavaFX application the primaryStage should be displayed immediately and updated with data as data becomes available. The important thing is that network requests be sent as soon as possible after main is called.
