Full Stack Development with JHipster - Second Edition

By: Deepu K Sasidharan, Sendil Kumar Nellaiyapen

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.

Best Practices with JHipster

In the previous chapters of this book, we learned about JHipster and the various tools and technologies it supports in detail. These are the things we have learned so far:

  • We learned to develop monolithic and microservice applications. We also learned about differences in the architecture and the reasons to choose one over the other.
  • We created entities using JDL, and we customized the generated application for our business needs.
  • We created a CI/CD setup using Jenkins.
  • We deployed the monolith application to the Heroku cloud.
  • We deployed the microservice architecture to the Google Cloud using Kubernetes and Docker.
  • We learned about Spring Framework, Spring Boot, Angular, React, Vue.js, Docker, Kubernetes, and much more.

In this chapter, we will see what steps you need to take next to use what you have learned from this book, and we will also talk...
