This application was generated using JHipster 8.8.0, you can find documentation and help at https://www.jhipster.tech/documentation-archive/v8.8.0.
Node is required for generation and recommended for development. package.json
is always generated for a better development experience with prettier, commit hooks, scripts and so on.
In the project root, JHipster generates configuration files for tools like git, prettier, eslint, husky, and others that are well known and you can find references in the web.
/src/*
structure follows default Java structure.
-
.yo-rc.json
- Yeoman configuration file JHipster configuration is stored in this file atgenerator-jhipster
key. You may findgenerator-jhipster-*
for specific blueprints configuration. -
.yo-resolve
(optional) - Yeoman conflict resolver Allows to use a specific action when conflicts are found skipping prompts for files that matches a pattern. Each line should match[pattern] [action]
with pattern been a Minimatch pattern and action been one of skip (default if omitted) or force. Lines starting with#
are considered comments and are ignored. -
.jhipster/*.json
- JHipster entity configuration files -
npmw
- wrapper to use locally installed npm. JHipster installs Node and npm locally using the build tool by default. This wrapper makes sure npm is installed locally and uses it avoiding some differences different versions can cause. By using./npmw
instead of the traditionalnpm
you can configure a Node-less environment to develop or test your application. -
/src/main/docker
- Docker configurations for the application and services that the application depends on
The build system will install automatically the recommended version of Node and npm.
We provide a wrapper to launch npm. You will only need to run this command when dependencies change in package.json.
./npmw install
We use npm scripts and Angular CLI with Webpack as our build system.
Run the following commands in two separate terminals to create a blissful development experience where your browser auto-refreshes when files change on your hard drive.
./mvnw
./npmw start
Npm is also used to manage CSS and JavaScript dependencies used in this application. You can upgrade dependencies by
specifying a newer version in package.json. You can also run ./npmw update
and ./npmw install
to manage dependencies.
Add the help
flag on any command to see how you can use it. For example, ./npmw help update
.
The ./npmw run
command will list all the scripts available to run for this project.
JHipster ships with PWA (Progressive Web App) support, and it's turned off by default. One of the main components of a PWA is a service worker.
The service worker initialization code is disabled by default. To enable it, uncomment the following code in src/main/webapp/app/app.config.ts
:
ServiceWorkerModule.register('ngsw-worker.js', { enabled: false }),
For example, to add Leaflet library as a runtime dependency of your application, you would run following command:
./npmw install --save --save-exact leaflet
To benefit from TypeScript type definitions from DefinitelyTyped repository in development, you would run following command:
./npmw install --save-dev --save-exact @types/leaflet
Then you would import the JS and CSS files specified in library's installation instructions so that Webpack knows about them: Edit src/main/webapp/app/app.config.ts file:
import 'leaflet/dist/leaflet.js';
Edit src/main/webapp/content/scss/vendor.scss file:
@import 'leaflet/dist/leaflet.css';
Note: There are still a few other things remaining to do for Leaflet that we won't detail here.
For further instructions on how to develop with JHipster, have a look at Using JHipster in development.
You can also use Angular CLI to generate some custom client code.
For example, the following command:
ng generate component my-component
will generate few files:
create src/main/webapp/app/my-component/my-component.component.html
create src/main/webapp/app/my-component/my-component.component.ts
update src/main/webapp/app/app.config.ts
To build the final jar and optimize the jhipsterCouchbaseSampleApplication application for production, run:
./mvnw -Pprod clean verify
This will concatenate and minify the client CSS and JavaScript files. It will also modify index.html
so it references these new files.
To ensure everything worked, run:
java -jar target/*.jar
Then navigate to http://localhost:8080 in your browser.
Refer to Using JHipster in production for more details.
To package your application as a war in order to deploy it to an application server, run:
./mvnw -Pprod,war clean verify
JHipster Control Center can help you manage and control your application(s). You can start a local control center server (accessible on http://localhost:7419) with:
docker compose -f src/main/docker/jhipster-control-center.yml up
To launch your application's tests, run:
./mvnw verify
Performance tests are run by Gatling and written in Scala. They're located in src/test/java/gatling/simulations.
You can execute all Gatling tests with
./mvnw gatling:test
Unit tests are run by Jest. They're located in src/test/javascript/ and can be run with:
./npmw test
UI end-to-end tests are powered by Cypress. They're located in src/test/javascript/cypress
and can be run by starting Spring Boot in one terminal (./mvnw spring-boot:run
) and running the tests (./npmw run e2e
) in a second one.
You can execute automated Lighthouse audits with cypress-audit by running ./npmw run e2e:cypress:audits
.
You should only run the audits when your application is packaged with the production profile.
The lighthouse report is created in target/cypress/lhreport.html
Sonar is used to analyse code quality. You can start a local Sonar server (accessible on http://localhost:9001) with:
docker compose -f src/main/docker/sonar.yml up -d
Note: we have turned off forced authentication redirect for UI in src/main/docker/sonar.yml for out of the box experience while trying out SonarQube, for real use cases turn it back on.
You can run a Sonar analysis with using the sonar-scanner or by using the maven plugin.
Then, run a Sonar analysis:
./mvnw -Pprod clean verify sonar:sonar -Dsonar.login=admin -Dsonar.password=admin
If you need to re-run the Sonar phase, please be sure to specify at least the initialize
phase since Sonar properties are loaded from the sonar-project.properties file.
./mvnw initialize sonar:sonar -Dsonar.login=admin -Dsonar.password=admin
Additionally, Instead of passing sonar.password
and sonar.login
as CLI arguments, these parameters can be configured from sonar-project.properties as shown below:
sonar.login=admin
sonar.password=admin
For more information, refer to the Code quality page.
JHipster generates a number of Docker Compose configuration files in the src/main/docker/ folder to launch required third party services.
For example, to start required services in Docker containers, run:
docker compose -f src/main/docker/services.yml up -d
To stop and remove the containers, run:
docker compose -f src/main/docker/services.yml down
Spring Docker Compose Integration is enabled by default. It's possible to disable it in application.yml:
spring:
...
docker:
compose:
enabled: false
You can also fully dockerize your application and all the services that it depends on. To achieve this, first build a Docker image of your app by running:
npm run java:docker
Or build a arm64 Docker image when using an arm64 processor os like MacOS with M1 processor family running:
npm run java:docker:arm64
Then run:
docker compose -f src/main/docker/app.yml up -d
For more information refer to Using Docker and Docker-Compose, this page also contains information on the Docker Compose sub-generator (jhipster docker-compose
), which is able to generate Docker configurations for one or several JHipster applications.
To configure CI for your project, run the ci-cd sub-generator (jhipster ci-cd
), this will let you generate configuration files for a number of Continuous Integration systems. Consult the Setting up Continuous Integration page for more information.
