All the examples I find for JHipster is for applications that have a one to one relationship between entities and screens.
I would like to have more than one entity being controlled by one screen.
Is there any example of this?
Is there a best practice?
I don't mind hand coding, but if I start to hand code I want to follow some best practice.
I normally google for this, but all the examples are too simple: one-to-one examples.
If you're looking for a full jhipster example with multiple entities per screen, you probably won't find one. You got to search by underlying technologies: angular, jackson, spring mvc and you'll find richer examples.
Few tips:
angular-ui router multiple named views per state can help
consider aggregating REST resources on server to avoid multiple requests per screen

I am new in microservices. I am coming from monolithic background in current environment i have different kinds services for different purposes like search, file, email, notification. I have taken so many courses but in that the instructor separate each entity and make it's own database also create API for that(like separate shopping cart entity, product entity) it makes no sense, I am not getting what is real world use of microservices or how to make separate component to build it's own microservice.
Can anyone give Real Project example?
Thanks in advance
Read this and this. Also look here and here. I don't think that anyone will give a link to the real working project, so you can try this.
I am not getting what is real world use of microservices
mostly as you heard in all of those tutorials the microservices architecture leverage advantages of:
the smaller services are easy to maintain and develop
easily can scale specific services rather than the whole project(monolith). for example you scale service-1 to 4 instances that request traffic split into these 4 instance and service-2 to 2 instances and go on (load balance). and these services may distributed in to different servers and locations.
if one service failed to work it does not terminate the whole system since they are independent.
services can be reusable for other scenarios or features.
small team can works for each services and its easy to manage both project and development flow.
and also it suffer from disadvantages of
services are simple and small but all as a whole system is complex so designing part are very critical.
poor performance and it requires do some extras to improve the performance (different types of caching on different levels).
transactions are complex and its developments are time costly. imagine simple update should be projected to other services if its required and you have to consider failure and rollback strategy ( SAGA ).
how to make separate component to build it's own microservice
this is the most challenging part of microservices. you need deep study on Domain driven design DDD.
Decompose by subdomain
Decompose by Business Capabilities
Can anyone give Real Project example?
there are many projects the develop microservices with different patterns. I think you have to start your own and make your hands dirty.
I come from express.js background and pretty new to loopback framework, especially loopback4 which i am using for my current project. I have gone through the loopback4 documentation few times and got some good progress in setting up the project. As the project is running as expected, I am not much convinced with project structure, Please help me to solve below problem,
As per docs, database operations should be in repositories and routes should be in controllers. Now suppose, My API consist lots of business logic along with database operations say thousand of lines. Which makes controllers routes difficult to maintain. More difficulty would arise, if some API demands version upgrade.
Is there any way to organise the code in controllers in more
scalable and reusable manner? What if i add one more service layer
between controllers and repositories and put business logic there?
how to implement it in the correct way? Is there any official way to
do that which is suggested by loopback community only?
Thanks in advance!!
Is there any way to organise the code in controllers in more scalable and reusable manner?
Yes, services can be used to abstract complex logic into its own separate class(es). Once defined, the service can be injected into the dependent controller(s) which can then call the respective service functions.
How the service is designed is dependent on the user requirements as LoopBack 4 does not necessarily enforce a strict design requirement.
I've been reading articles about node.js tips, tricks and best practices in general. I found one that mentioned that it is convenient to really think and approach apps in terms of microservices. I've toyed around with that before, but I'm still not quite clear when is best or what criteria to use.
For example, now I'm working on an app (not for work, but a hobby of mine) to record quotes from books I read. So, I've written node.js API with two routes: A POST route to recording the quote on a MongoDB instance running on a cloud, and a GET route to read quotes.
This is all one single app. Does "thinking", in terms of microservices, mean that I should write two different apps, one for posting, one for getting, each running on its own container?
I'm familiar with Kubernetes, and Openshift so the tech details are not much of a problem. My concern is in regards to how to make a decision in regards to splitting the apps, the separation of concerns bit of the architectural design, so to speak.
Thanks in advance.
Typically, microservices are broken around logically distinct pieces of data and operations. Since both the POST and the GET in your example deal with the same data, and complement each other's operations, breaking the GET and POST operations apart as separate microservices makes little sense to me.
As described, your application is small enough that there's no obvious boundary between components that could be further isolated for better flexibility.
Or put another way, this service already fits most definitions of a microservice, and doesn't lend itself to further decomposition.
I am fairly new to Azure and mobile services, and all the examples and tutorials I can find for the table and API scripts are fairly simplistic.
If I have some processes that are fairly complex and rely on pulling information from many different tables and processing contingent on that data, should I be doing that somewhere other than the API scripts? I am new to node.js as well so maybe that's the problem but I was wondering if there is a more appropriate place for business logic, such as some bridge I need to add to my stack?
There are a lot of examples of how to use MSSql object which is used to query tables and Node in general available. A healthy search will reveal just about anything you need. Since you said you are new to Node.js consider using the .NET backend instead. It is based on Entity Framework and there are lots of Entity framework examples out there for you too. Finally, there are some really good examples of complex logic being used in the back ends in the sample code available: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/develop/mobile/ios-samples/ (pick your client OS) and here: http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/topics/mobile/ and here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/azuremobile/
Let us know if you have specific questions!
I communicate with the server through jsons, which both in Nodejs and in Actionscript are objects (serialized through string).
Those objects I use in my client, by reading / modifying them and also creating secondary objects (from Classes) relative to what came from the server.
I have one of two options to design my client and I am stuck at deciding which of them is more flexible/futureproof.
Keep data as it comes, create many methods to modify the objects, keep secondary objects somewhere separate.
Convert the data into instances of classes where each class has its own group of methods instead of piling the methods in the same place.
Usually I go with 2 because OOP is delicious but going with 1 seems much simpler in terms of quantity.
I guess my problem is that I can't figure out if my client is basically a View (from MVC) where the server is the Control (also from MVC), or if my client and server are two independent / separate projects that communicate, and I should consider the client as a MVC project in itself.
I would appreciate your 2 cents.
From your question it's not clear what 1. and 2. differ but looks like 1. is tightly coupled while 2. has better separation of concerns.
It depends on your application. Do you need to create client heavy app with rich UI/UX elements, or maybe a mobile app where bandwidth is limited? If the answer is yes, then go with a second approach (2.): build your MVC like structure or use existing MV* libraries, like Ember, Angular, Backbone, Knockout, etc.
If you need SEO support and don't have much of fron-end code, then rendering on the server-side is still an option. Even with this approach ORM like Mongoose can come in handy.
PS: JavaScript doesn't really have classes, because objects inherit from other objects. You can use prorotypal inheritance patterns for that.
