Full Stack Development with JHipster

By: Deepu K Sasidharan, Sendil Kumar Nellaiyapen

Overview of this book

JHipster is a development platform to generate, develop, and deploy Spring Boot and Angular/React applications and Spring microservices. It provides you with a variety of tools that will help you quickly build modern web applications. This book will be your guide to building full stack applications with Spring and Angular using the JHipster tool set. You will begin by understanding what JHipster is and the various tools and technologies associated with it. You will learn the essentials of a full stack developer before getting hands-on and building a monolithic web application with JHipster. From here you will learn the JHipster Domain Language with entity modeling and entity creation using JDL and JDL studio. Moving on, you will be introduced to client side technologies such as Angular and Bootstrap and will delve into technologies such as Spring Security, Spring MVC, and Spring Data. You will learn to build and package apps for production with various deployment options such as Heroku and more. During the course of the book, you will be introduced to microservice server-side technologies and how to break your monolithic application with a database of your choice. Next, the book takes you through cloud deployment with microservices on Docker and Kubernetes. Going forward, you will learn to build your client side with React and master JHipster best practices. By the end of the book, you will be able to leverage the power of the best tools available to build modern web applications.

Microservice application -  Invoice Service with MySQL database


We can take the invoice service from our monolithic application, separate it, and make them separate microservice applications. Let's name it Invoice Service. This service is responsible for creating and tracking invoices. 

Application generation

First, let's see how we can generate a microservices application. In the e-commerce-app folder, create a new folder where you will keep the microservices application. Let's name the folder invoice. Go into the directory and start creating the application by typing jhipster.

The first question we are asked is to select the type of application we would like to create. We have to choose Microservice application and then click Enter:

Then, you need to give a base name to your application. We will go with the default application name, invoice (by default, JHipster selects a folder name the same as the application name):

Then, we will select the default port in which the application has to run...
