I am trying to override the a template Entity.java.ejs in my custom blueprint to add some extra functionality. Unfortunately JHipster uses its default one if generate an entity. I don’t want to overwrite the whole writing. Is there a possibility to override only certain ones and use JHipster default templates for the rest?
Helo friend,
in this period I see an application jhipster with a partial custom .ejs defining a default for others components.
The problem is that the overriding is very huge, and cabled only for a specific version 6.9.1 of jhipster.
If this is a good idea to custom a particolar application with a particolar version and with a specific cabling code ok, but is not good if you want a generic custom generator jhipster context, where you can "inject" only custom files, giving overriding of all scope original generator.
I try to search some answers searching on web, and your question is anyway a good clue to define a better solution that I see now.
The problem that I see is that jhipster environment dont have a "handling" approach about .ejs templates, when is very strong and straighweird when you use .jdl file .
An easly customization of templates of any jhipster application created with command "jhipster", ad example.
And searching I see this link https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/issues/1749
an issue of original jhipster generator where someone consider a good idea to use "subgenerator" using yeoman to modulerize this templates and with all benefits.
This is a another clue to understand somethings.
good luck and thanks

I just upgraded my project from ServiceStack 5.1 to 5.5.1. Now where I am using TemplateContext from ServiceStack.Templates it tells instead to use TemplateContext. Needless to say, this is likely a mistake in the description for the Obsolete attribute. What is the appropiate replacement for TemplateContext now in ServiceStack 5.5.1?
The depreciation message should’ve said to use ScriptContext instead.
In the latest ServiceStack v5.5 Release ServiceStack Templates has been rebranded to #Script.
The section on Migration to new Script API's explains how to migrate in more detail:
Migrating to the new APIs is fairly straight forward:
Change using ServiceStack.Templates; to using ServiceStack.Script;
Any classes with TemplatePage* has been renamed to SharpPage*
Any other class with a Template* prefix has been renamed to Script*
This change doesn’t affect any of your existing #Script source code whose existing syntax and available filters/methods remains unchanged.
New Terminology
The primary rationale for the rebranding was so we’re better able to label, describe and document all of #Script different features easier, so when referring to Templates View Engine we’re now calling Sharp Pages which is a better corollary to “Razor Pages” which it provides an alternative to.
Other re-branded features:
API Pages are now called Sharp APIs
Web Apps are now called Sharp Apps
Template Filters are now called Script Methods
Template Blocks are now called Script Blocks
The collection of methods you inject in your scripts like TemplateRedisFilters and TemplateDbFilters are now referred to as “Scripts” where they’ve been renamed to RedisScripts and DbScripts.
Since the generated java code doesn't fit all my needs, I would need to modify the templates (mainly in server). Small modifications are pretty straightforward but I was wondering if there is some tool to go from existing java code to this template.
We did modules for this use case, and I even did some specific ones for some clients. So this would be my favorite solution.
Then, I clearly see in our stats that many people are forking JHipster and modifying it - this is probably easier at first sight, but of course you'll have trouble when we release new versions, as you will have to sync your code with each new release.
I have made three different applications in j JHipster with monolithic. I need to merge these applications. I know that by using micro-services my quest can be easy but the current requirement is to do the merging with the monolithic pattern only.
I need to merge two applications with another or main application. I am using MySQL as database. I don't know where I need to change and how. Please help me out, I am a newbie in this scenario.
i tried to create a java file for setter getter methods and and a dao file for three databases and now in the main class file and am trying to take every dao file as an array of object and integrate it and put it into the third db.is it possible.i wanted to show the code bt,since i am new not able to maintain the coding standards to show.
by this i way i tried to involve three databases in a single scenario and want to complete my query through CRUD model.
as you already pointed out, the proper way of merging here would be using the microservice option, which you cannot take, as you are forced to use monolithic architecture...
almost automatic merge
if you did not changed anything to your code, after generating the entities, you just can put the contents of your applications .jhipster directory into one, and run yo jhipster --with-entities to regenerate the entities in one application. You should keep in mind, you will have to take a look at your main/resource/config/liquibase folder, to set the migration ids properly.
manual merge
For this you should be more experienced in the underlying technologies, as you will have to:
recreate your entity classes
recreate zour DAO/Repositories
(maybe) recreate your services, or service implementations
recreate your REST controllers
do a proper liquibase migration
provide some tests
migrate the frontend code, by adding states, components, templates etc..
the most of these things you just can copy paste already generated code.
For more information, you should ask more precise, what is not working, if you already tried something...
I'm trying to setup a nodejs-express boilerplate for my new project, and this time I want to try doc-driven flow. I've checked couples of packages like swagger-node, swaggerize-express ...etc. They all provide great functionalities.
However, I don't see anything that could support incremental scaffolding when the Swagger file is updated. That means when the spec changes I have to manually check the diff and manually add/modify the new specs. That doesn't sound cool.
Does anyone could share something that is more reasonable? Thanks!!!
Edit:
After trying some frameworks, I decided to use swagger-express-middleware. This framework offers a convenient way to automatically check routes/parameters for your service.
You can use tools like swagger-maven-plugin to incrementally rebuild your server code, which means reading from your api definition and updating/building code as necessary. There are SAAS products like SwaggerHub which enable this as well, by merging code and pushing to git.
i'm newbie in JHipster and i'm trying to figure this, when i create a new entity JHipster generates several files, angular, html and java classes, now if i want a common code for all this generated code i must edit each time that i use the yeoman generator? what i want is:
Custom Index template, and pages, is secure to edit them?.
Customize the entity tables, entity forms using angular, maybe extending yeoman generators
Customize generate java classes, maybe i think using AOP
So i need to edit each time for each generated code? and is a good practice this or what i want? for clarify more i want to use a Custom Bootstrap/angular Dashboard template like Minovate, i see how to customize bootstrap in the documentation but not about what i'm asking for, Thanks.
JHipster is just a code generator, once generated the code is yours.
For angular screens I would say do as much as you can in CSS/SASS.
But it's very likely that you will need to build some screen mixing several entities and change the structure of entity screens.
So you should rather consider them as a starting point and do your own stuff in another folder so that it does not get overwritten by next re-generations.
This way you can still update your entity definitions in .jhipster folder and re-run yo jhispter:entity <entity name> on the entities you modified.
Customising java Entities is usually much simpler and you can easiliy achieve this by merging generated code with git and defining your service classes.
AOP seems overkill here.
Extending a yeoman generator is a lot of work.
I suggest to use some VSC (git, subversion or whatever you like) have a branch dedicated to plain jhipster generated code and another one where you make customization.
Eventually regenerate on jhipster branch and merge back on yours.
You should at least reduce manual intervention.
