Full Stack Development with JHipster - Second Edition

Overview of this book

JHipster is an open source development platform that allows you to easily create web apps and microservices from scratch without spending time on wiring and integrating different technologies. Updated to include JHipster 6, Java 11, Spring Boot 2.1, Vue.js, and Istio, this second edition of Full Stack Development with JHipster will help you build full stack applications and microservices seamlessly. You'll start by understanding JHipster and its associated tools, along with the essentials of full stack development, before building a monolithic web app. You'll then learn the JHipster Domain Language (JDL) with entity modeling using JDL-Studio. With this book, you'll create production-ready web apps using Spring Boot, Spring Framework, Angular, and Bootstrap, and run tests and set up continuous integration pipelines with Jenkins. As you advance, you'll learn how to convert your monoliths to microservices and how to package your application for production with various deployment options, including Heroku and Google Cloud. You'll also learn about Docker and Kubernetes, along with an introduction to the Istio service mesh. Finally, you'll build your client-side with React and Vue.js and discover JHipster's best practices. By the end of the book, you'll be able to leverage the best tools available to build modern web apps.

Starting the production database with Docker

JHipster creates a Dockerfile for the application and provides docker-compose files for all the technologies we choose, such as the database, search engine, Jenkins, and so on, under src/main/docker:

├── app.yml - Main compose file for the application
├── hazelcast-management-center.yml - Compose file hazelcast management center
├── jenkins.yml - Compose file for Jenkins
├── monitoring.yml - Compose file for monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana
├── mysql.yml - Compose file for the database that we choose
└── sonar.yml - Compose file for SonarQube

Let's look at how we can start our production database using Docker from the compose file provided under src/main/docker/mysql.yml. You will need to use a Terminal...
