In this post, I’ll be highlighting what JHipster is and how you too, can align your Java and JS skills for your next web application.<\/p>\n
So first and foremost, what is Jhipster?<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\nJHipster is basically an application generator designed for Java developers, to combine their Java and JavaScript skills. JHipster blends Angular.js and JavaScript on the client end, while Java runs on the back end, via Spring. Java developers have leveraged a variety of other web development tools with Jhipster including Spring MVC REST, Spring Data JPA etc., all on the server’s side.<\/p>\n
Today, JHipser has around 1,432 commits made by 70 contributors. Jhipster is mostly written in Java with the help of several source code comments. Last, but definitely not the least, Jhipster has an established codebase that’s being maintained by a large web development team. It\u2019s taken over 3 years for JHipster to get recognition among web developers, with the very first commit received in October, 2013.<\/p>\n

How does JHipster work on the client side?<\/h4>\n
JHipster makes use of the Grunt JavaScript task runner for developing JavaScript and CSS assets. In addition, it uses the Bower package manager for installing the required JavaScript libraries. Unlike a variety of other web development frameworks, Google’s Angular.js has come up with a dependency injection feature.<\/p>\n
With this feature, Java developers are able to build applications via different tools aside from using the traditional Java EE(Enterprise Edition) platform. There’s an easy availability of standard web technologies that can be used for creating robust and powerful web applications without the need for doing a lot of coding.<\/p>\n
What can you do with JHipster?<\/h4>\n
With JHipster, you can create just about any desktop and mobile applications using Java 7 or 8. Developers also use it in collaboration with SQL databases or MongoDB NoSQL databases. Websockets can also be easily enabled in Jhipster, with the help of the Atmosphere Framework.<\/p>\n
Completely capable of serving as a Yeoman Generator<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
JHipster is backed by an incredible range of technologies including Spring Java, Angular.js JS framework, YSC or Yeoman Scaffolding tool. With this, it\u2019s capable of serving as a Yeoman Generator which is basically used for developing a variety of business tools and different types of gaming apps. JHipster also works effectively with a variety of tools including Maven Build Tools that serves as a handy option while working with Spring Data JPS, Java and Spring MVC REST.<\/p>\n
Supports cloud deployment<\/h4>\n
One of the monumental advantages of using JHipster is its easy access via both desktops as well as mobile devices. And since Jhipster supports Heroku Cloud Deployment, it\u2019s quite convenient for developers to deploy apps on a variety of reputed cloud architectures.<\/p>\n
Jhipster also allows developers to plan the Red Hat OpenShift cloud support. For those who have been struggling with development of asynchronous applications using Java will appreciate the ease of JHipster.<\/p>\n
Perfect for novice and experts<\/h4>\n
With JHipster serving developers the latest in app development tools, this Git will be amazingly accepted and adopted by both amateurs and programming professionals. The technology on which JHipster is based on is quite mature and much stable compared to other development tools. When it comes to developing richer and more dynamic apps and games using Java, JHipster is definitely something you can’t afford to miss.
