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.

Running generated tests


Good software development is never complete without good testing. JHipster generates quite a lot of automated tests out of the box, and there are options to choose even more. Let's run the generated server side and client side tests for the application to make sure everything is working as expected.

First, open a terminal/command line and navigate to the project folder.

Server-side tests

The server-side integration tests and unit tests are present in the src/test/java folder.

These can be run directly from the IDE by choosing a package or individual test and running it, or via the command line by running a Gradle test task. Let's run it using the command line. In a new terminal, navigate to the application source folder and execute the following command. It should finish with a success message, as shown here:

> ./gradlew test
...

Client-side tests

The client-side unit tests and end-to-end tests are available...
