This application was generated using JHipster 4.10.2, you can find documentation and help at http://www.jhipster.tech/documentation-archive/v4.10.2.
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 Gulp as our build system. Install the Gulp command-line tool globally with:
yarn global add gulp-cli
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
gulp
Bower is used to manage CSS and JavaScript dependencies used in this application. You can upgrade dependencies by
specifying a newer version in bower.json. You can also run bower update and bower install to manage dependencies.
Add the -h flag on any command to see how you can use it. For example, bower update -h.
For further instructions on how to develop with JHipster, have a look at Using JHipster in development.
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./gradlew swaggerThen 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.
To optimize the jhipsterSimpleApplication 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.
To launch your application's tests, run:
./mvnw clean test
Unit tests are run by Karma and written with Jasmine. They're located in src/test/javascript/ and can be run with:
gulp test
For more information, refer to the Running tests page.
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 package -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.
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.
