I'm doing Fullstack with Angular + Spring Boot Kotlin.

I love writing the backend but the frontend part really seems overly complex.

In the end I'm just mirroring my data from the backend on the frontend, having to maintain two models, mapping the json to an object and then inputing that data into another component where it gets displayed. For example I tried to create a generic edit component but without reflexion it was a huge pain in the butt: https://github.com/tschuehly/DataRecovery/blob/f4003ddebbba7...

I would love to just have an html structure and then just having a template for a component filling it in the backend and sending it to the frontend.
