generator-jhipster

What is generator-jhipster?

The generator-jhipster package is a development tool that helps in generating, developing, and deploying Spring Boot + Angular/React/Vue web applications and Spring microservices. It provides a powerful workflow to create modern web applications and microservices architectures.

What are generator-jhipster's main functionalities?

Generate a new application

This command initializes a new JHipster application. It prompts the user for various configuration options such as the type of application (monolith, microservices, etc.), the client framework (Angular, React, Vue), and other settings like database type and authentication method.

jhipster

Add entities

This command generates a new entity with CRUD operations. It updates the application with the necessary backend and frontend code to manage the entity, including database migrations, REST endpoints, and UI components.

jhipster entity <entity-name>

Generate a microservice

This command sets up a new microservice application. It configures the necessary components for a microservice architecture, including service discovery, API gateway, and communication between services.

jhipster --blueprints microservice

Other packages similar to generator-jhipster

create-react-app

Create React App is a tool to set up a new React project with a sensible default configuration. Unlike generator-jhipster, it focuses solely on the frontend and does not provide backend generation or microservices architecture support.

nestjs

NestJS is a framework for building efficient, scalable Node.js server-side applications. It provides a robust backend framework but does not include frontend scaffolding or the same level of integration with client-side technologies as JHipster.
