What do you like best about JHipster?

It is a free and open-source application generator used to quickly develop modern web applications and Microservices using Spring Boot + Angular / React / Vue. is an open source tool with 15.9K GitHub stars and 3.2K GitHub forks. JHipster has a open source repository on GitHub Jhipster is a fantastic experience. The community provides complete, detailed and very useful documentation. in a short time it became very popular. JHipster creates, with just a few shell commands, a full-fledged Java web project with a friendly, responsive front-end, documented REST API, comprehensive test coverage, basic security and database integration! The resulting code is well commented and follows industries best practices. there are many tutorials and books that make learning easy. I have been following it since 2016 and it is an exceptional full stack development framework. I'm a huge fan of jhipster. Enjoy it! Awesome! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JHipster?

Somewhat overuse of component, libraries, and frameworks that make your initial greenfield project complex from day one. It is like start big, rather than start small, but that was your choice from the beginning! Jhipster generates tons of code with many libraries that you probably do not know some of them. You can not go ahead and add your business logic and modifications without reading tutorials about these technologies. nothing else Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JHipster:

To be recommended, it is very useful to speed up development and put on a prototype in a few hours. Also recommended for those who want to fully understand the full stack architecture and for learning new technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JHipster solving and how is that benefiting you?

I also used jhipster to understand full satck architecture and all development phases, from design, testing and production. Fast application code scaffold. In a short time, an application is generated. The code is well organized and uses best practices. You can learn a lot from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about JHipster?

Jhipster makes it easy to create -> build -> deploy any requirement with many options. Days of work are reduced to hours. World-class programmers are contributing to the jhipster in turn directly helping us creating the world-class product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JHipster?

Deployment documentation needs to improve and elasticsearch as a primary database(Expected to come in 7.0, I saw in the roadmap) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JHipster:

- Who wants to build a full-stack product in one day with basic crud operation in one day

- Deploy application as a container in one day

- Monitor the application with observability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JHipster solving and how is that benefiting you?

Create any full-stack app in minutes

Create an entity with CRUD operations of any number of properties and relationships with other entities on the fly

Create multiple entities with basing CRUD operations with all the relations with jdl studio helps us build the product in one day

Create a Deployment conf for Docker or Kubernetes and deploy the same day.

It helped me create the products and show the deployment demos on the same day in the same session. I have created many products and created many deployment conf for docker and deployed with the same.|

Along with the deployment conf it also provides the monitoring conf with different options like

- Promethes and Grafana

- Consule

- ELK

I can't simply define in this text all about jhipster, there are many more things it provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about JHipster?

its convenient for creating apps in easy way, it has a lot of shortcut commands that does a lot for you. Just with one or two commands it will create a world for you. Lets say in just 5 min you will have working application, basic ofcourse, and it has user interface template that is ready to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JHipster?

if you are new to programming, it would be difficult to understand the configuration of jhipster. Because if something goes wrong and you are unexperienced you will not know how to resolve the issue. The other thing that is not too much convenient is that if you are unexperienced with jhipster it will be easy to find yourself in trouble with db tables, espacialy if you use SQL db. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JHipster solving and how is that benefiting you?

First of all it helped me to generate initially the application, it saves time definetely with configuration. Its pretty fast. I didn't have to bother with a creation of application components, modules. Mostley I used it for front-end programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about JHipster?

I have been using JHipster for Microservice architecture. Good thing is it helped me creating services base project rapidly. Earlier when we used to create an entity, we had to create Database configuration, required entity classes, service, its resource etc manually. Which was taking ample amount of time.

Now its a few minutes job and everything will be generated by JHipster for you. You just have to worry about business logic.

Other features like Authentication and authorization with Keycloak or okta, support for elasticsearch is out of the box.

In short Jhipster is best for robust and rapid development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JHipster?

Jhipster generates tons of code with many libraries which might not be even in use or one might not have an insight of about it. It took us some time to figure out unused code generated by jhipster and finally we were able to make it lighter by removing such code and libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JHipster:

Highly recommended if one wants to develop robust and scalable application in very short time.

One should go through all the documents available on Jhipster site that will help to have knowledge when creating generators in an application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JHipster solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using JHipster to create a microservice architecture based application. Where we have an angular client and number of different microservices.

I realized we achieved deadline for developing the application in very short time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about JHipster?

Reduced set up time, provides quick start up for an application.

System can be built with minimal expertise, all new developer teams with only java knowledge were able to kick off the application.

User management and admin module are already available to customize.

Eventually we migrated all the 4 applications for our one business department on Jhispter and the applications ran smooth after the migration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JHipster?

It did not work well with weblogic, it might have been upgraded now Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JHipster solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used it for application migration from an old stack<jsf-Icefaces> to spring boot- angular in a non it company where budgets and timelines are very less for such technology intensive projects. We tried multiple stacks and finalized Jhipster for its quick turn around time, as in to set up the application and show a complete POC to our business in a short period.

Realized the great benefit of saving our effort and time for seting up the initial framework and doing R and D. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about JHipster?

It gives us the running web application prototype that has back end and front end code for CRUD applications with just selection of few options. Options available for the frontend side such as React, Angular. Vue. Options availbale for backend such as monolithic, microservice, microservice gateway, etc. It also provides automated test for the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JHipster?

It does not provide two separate folder structure for front end and back end. If we need only back end still we have to select for front end. It uses some of the libraries which are of no use or we are unaware of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JHipster:

I liked Jhipster for code generation and believes that once you use it you will also liked it as I am. Just give a try atleast once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JHipster solving and how is that benefiting you?

It generates a web application prototype with back end, front end and options such as monolothic, microservice, etc. for back end, which means we just need to focus on our business logic.The prototype code is well organized and uses best practices. We learnt a lot from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
