Initially, you will use Maven to generate the code and while it does put int a build.gradle,...

Introduction In a recent blog I explained how to create a React-based portlet within your Liferay Gradle Workspace by using the js-widget Blade template which in turn uses the Yeoman Liferay JS Generator to create the project.
