Layslip
This application was generated using JHipster 4.14.1, you can find documentation and help at http://www.jhipster.tech/documentation-archive/v4.14.1.
Development
Before you can build this project, you must install and configure the following dependencies on your machine:
- Node.js: We use Node to run a development web server and build the project. Depending on your system, you can install Node either from source or as a pre-packaged bundle.
- Yarn: We use Yarn to manage Node dependencies. Depending on your system, you can install Yarn either from source or as a pre-packaged bundle.
After installing Node, you should be able to run the following command to install development tools. You will only need to run this command when dependencies change in package.json.
yarn install
We use yarn scripts and Webpack as our build system.
Run the following commands in two separate terminals to create a blissful development experience where your browser auto-refreshes when files change on your hard drive.
./mvnw
yarn start
Yarn is also used to manage CSS and JavaScript dependencies used in this application. You can upgrade dependencies by
specifying a newer version in package.json. You can also run yarn update
and yarn install
to manage dependencies.
Add the help
flag on any command to see how you can use it. For example, yarn help update
.
The yarn run
command will list all of the scripts available to run for this project.
Service workers
Service workers are commented by default, to enable them please uncomment the following code.
- The service worker registering script in index.html
<script>
if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
navigator.serviceWorker
.register('./sw.js')
.then(function() { console.log('Service Worker Registered'); });
}
</script>
Note: workbox creates the respective service worker and dynamically generate the sw.js
Managing dependencies
For example, to add Leaflet library as a runtime dependency of your application, you would run following command:
yarn add --exact leaflet
To benefit from TypeScript type definitions from DefinitelyTyped repository in development, you would run following command:
yarn add --dev --exact @types/leaflet
Then you would import the JS and CSS files specified in library's installation instructions so that Webpack knows about them: Edit src/main/webapp/app/vendor.ts file:
import 'leaflet/dist/leaflet.js';
Edit src/main/webapp/content/css/vendor.css file:
@import '~leaflet/dist/leaflet.css';
Note: there are still few other things remaining to do for Leaflet that we won't detail here.
For further instructions on how to develop with JHipster, have a look at Using JHipster in development.
Using angular-cli
You can also use Angular CLI to generate some custom client code.
For example, the following command:
ng generate component my-component
will generate few files:
create src/main/webapp/app/my-component/my-component.component.html
create src/main/webapp/app/my-component/my-component.component.ts
update src/main/webapp/app/app.module.ts
Doing API-First development using swagger-codegen
Swagger-Codegen is configured for this application. You can generate API code from the src/main/resources/swagger/api.yml
definition file by running:
./mvnw generate-sources
Then implements the generated interfaces with @RestController
classes.
To edit the api.yml
definition file, you can use a tool such as Swagger-Editor. Start a local instance of the swagger-editor using docker by running: docker-compose -f src/main/docker/swagger-editor.yml up -d
. The editor will then be reachable at http://localhost:7742.
Refer to Doing API-First development for more details.
Building for production
To optimize the Layslip application for production, run:
./mvnw -Pprod clean package
This will concatenate and minify the client CSS and JavaScript files. It will also modify index.html
so it references these new files.
To ensure everything worked, run:
java -jar target/*.war
Then navigate to http://localhost:8080 in your browser.
Refer to Using JHipster in production for more details.
Testing
To launch your application's tests, run:
./mvnw clean test
Client tests
Unit tests are run by Karma and written with Jasmine. They're located in src/test/javascript/ and can be run with:
yarn test
For more information, refer to the Running tests page.
Using Docker to simplify development (optional)
You can use Docker to improve your JHipster development experience. A number of docker-compose configuration are available in the src/main/docker folder to launch required third party services.
For example, to start a mysql database in a docker container, run:
docker-compose -f src/main/docker/mysql.yml up -d
To stop it and remove the container, run:
docker-compose -f src/main/docker/mysql.yml down
You can also fully dockerize your application and all the services that it depends on. To achieve this, first build a docker image of your app by running:
./mvnw verify -Pprod dockerfile:build
Then run:
docker-compose -f src/main/docker/app.yml up -d
For more information refer to Using Docker and Docker-Compose, this page also contains information on the docker-compose sub-generator (jhipster docker-compose
), which is able to generate docker configurations for one or several JHipster applications.
Continuous Integration (optional)
To configure CI for your project, run the ci-cd sub-generator (jhipster ci-cd
), this will let you generate configuration files for a number of Continuous Integration systems. Consult the Setting up Continuous Integration page for more information.
