JHipster

Generating, developing and deploying modern web applications & microservice architectures

Introduction

• jHipster official website

Getting started

• Make sure you have installed Java, git and Node.js
• Install jHipster:

$ npm install -g generator-jhipster

Known bug with JHipster 7.9.3 and NodeJs > 16.0

JHIpster expects an additional export in its node module’s package.json file –> GitHub related bug

~/.nvm/versions/node/v18.12.1/lib/node_modules/generator-jhipster/node_modules/yeoman-environment/package.json

{ 
    "exports": {
        ...
        "./lib/util/namespace": "./lib/util/namespace.js"
    }
}

This bug is expected to be solved in JHipster>=7.9.4

• Create a new directory and go into it:

$ mkdir myApp && cd myApp

• Run JHipster and follow instructions on screen:

$ jhipster

Avoid JHipster from locally commit after generation

By default, JHipster commits the project to your git project after creating it. If you just want a sandbox project and don’t want these changes in your repository, launch it with the --skip-git option

$ jhipster --skip-git
