JHipster is a well-known platform for generating modern application in java world.
JHipster provides a blueprints system that allows to override default behavior of the generator
JHipster.NET
https://github.com/jhipster/jhipster-dotnetcore
JHipster.NET is a blueprint that overrides the back-end part, originally generated in spring boot, by back-end in asp.net core. For the front-end all the common language can be used (angular, react)
Generate your first application :
Installation of the blueprint
npm install -g generator-jhipster-dotnetcore
Call the generator
jhipster --blueprints dotnetcore
After running this command you have few questions to answer, as Application name, authentication mode, client framework etc
Once it's done, you can build and run your application.
dotnet run --verbosity normal --project ./src/YourAppName/YourAppName.csproj
Your first application is ready and you can now use it with default user like JHipster (admin admin or user user)
Ok now you have an application but without entity.
JHipster allow you to add entity with cli or with jdl file (add link)
JHipster.NET have the same behavior.
jhipster entity <entity-name>
Or with jdl
jhipster import-jdl my_file.jdl
You can edit jdl with https://start.jhipster.tech/jdl-studio/
You have now an application with CRUD operations on each new entities with potentially link between entities (one-to-one, many-to-one or many-to-many)
Default configurations are availables in the generated project. As an example, a docker compose file is generated with monitoring solutions (influxdb telegraf and chronograf or grafana)
