Add additional fields in registration using Jhipster 4.10.2 - jhipster

Question

I need to add phone number to the registration page and need to save it in the db as well. I followed following link.
http://www.jhipster.tech/tips/022_tip_registering_user_with_additional_information.html
But since here Jhispter version is changed code is bit different than the code in above link. So I am bit confusing to go with it. According to the link instructions I did upto "Updating ManagedUserVM". Then after I need the help since code is differed.

Answer 1

It really didn't change that much, and the logic remains the same.
The registerAccount function should look like this now :
public void registerAccount(#Valid #RequestBody ManagedUserVM managedUserVM) {
if (!checkPasswordLength(managedUserVM.getPassword())) {
throw new InvalidPasswordException();
}
userRepository.findOneByLogin(managedUserVM.getLogin().toLowerCase()).ifPresent(u -> {throw new LoginAlreadyUsedException();});
userRepository.findOneByEmailIgnoreCase(managedUserVM.getEmail()).ifPresent(u -> {throw new EmailAlreadyUsedException();});
User user = userService.registerUser(managedUserVM, managedUserVM.getPassword(), managedUserVM.getPhone());
mailService.sendActivationEmail(user);
}
And the registerUser function in the UserService (which is a rename of the former createUser) :
public User registerUser(UserDTO userDTO, String password, String phone) {
// JHipster code omitted for brevity
...
// Create and save the UserExtra entity
UserExtra newUserExtra = new UserExtra();
newUserExtra.setUser(newUser);
newUserExtra.setPhone(phone);
userExtraRepository.save(newUserExtra);
log.debug("Created Information for UserExtra: {}", newUserExtra);
return newUser;
}
Just note that you may have to manually change your database changelog (if using a SQL database) to correctly link the ids of User and UserExtra, so it looks like this :
<createTable tableName="user_extra">
<column name="phone" type="varchar(255)">
<constraints nullable="true" />
</column>
<column name="user_id" type="bigint">
<constraints primaryKey="true" nullable="false" />
</column>
<!-- jhipster-needle-liquibase-add-column - JHipster will add columns here, do not remove-->
</createTable>
