How to Generate a Full Stack Application Using JHipster

Hello everyone, Today we will learn how to generate a Monolithic Full stack application using JHipster.

What is JHispter?

JHipster is an open-source application development platform to quickly generate, develop, & deploy modern web applications & microservice architectures using Angular or React or Vue and Spring Boot or Quarkus Frameworks.

JHipster Environment Setup

Step 1: Install Java 11, click here

Step 2: Install Node.js, click here

Step 3: Install JHipster using the following command
npm install -g generator-jhipster
or
yarn global add generator-jhipster
or
Download the JHipster Docker image, click here

Step 4(Optional)
Install Maven or Gradle depends on you.
You normally don’t have to install anything, as JHipster will automatically install the Maven Wrapper or the Gradle Wrapper for you. If you don’t want to use those wrappers, go to the official Maven website or Gradle website to do your own installation.

Creating a Web App using JHipster

Step 1Create an empty directory in which you will create your application.
