Full Stack Development with JHipster

Introduction to Modern Web Application Development

According to the Stack Overflow developer survey 2019 (https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019#developer-roles), full stack developer is the most popular developer title. The software industry defines a full stack developer as someone who can work on different areas of an application stack. The term stack refers to the different components and tools that make up an application.

In terms of web application development, the stack can be broadly classified into two areas—frontend and backend stack, also known as the client-side and server-side stack. The term frontend generally refers to the part of the code that is responsible for the user interface, and the term backend refers to the part that is responsible for the business logic, database interactions, user authentication, server configuration, and so on. There...

Modern full stack web development

The life of a full stack developer would be worthy of a whole book by itself, so let's leave that topic for another day.

Instead, let's look at a user story from a full stack Java web application and see what is involved.

Let's use an example of developing a user management module for a typical Java web application. Let's assume that you would be writing unit test cases for all of the code, and so we won't look at it in detail here:

  1. You would start by designing the architecture for the feature. You would decide on the plugins and frameworks to use, patterns to follow, and so on.
  2. You will be modeling the domain model for the feature depending on the database technology used.
  3. Then, you would create server-side code and database queries to persist and fetch data from the database.
  4. Once the data is ready, you would implement...

Web architecture patterns

The full stack landscape is further complicated by the different web architecture patterns commonly used these days. The widely used web application architecture patterns today can be broadly classified into two patterns—monolithic architecture and microservice architecture, the latter of which has become mainstream (fashionable) in recent years.

Monolithic web architecture

A monolithic architecture is the most widely used pattern for web applications because of its simplicity to develop and deploy. Though the actual moving parts will differ from application to application, the general pattern remains the same. In general, a monolithic web application can do the following:

  • It can support different...

Choosing the right pattern

When starting a new project these days, it is always difficult to choose an architecture pattern. There are so many factors to take into account, and it is easy to get confused with all the hype surrounding different patterns and technologies (see the blog post on Hype Driven Development (HDD)) at https://blog.daftcode.pl/hype-driven-development-3469fc2e9b22). The following are some general guidelines on when to choose a monolithic web application architecture over a microservice architecture and vice versa.

When to choose a monolithic architecture

The following list can be used as a general guide when choosing a monolithic architecture. This is not a definitive list, but it gives you an idea of...

Summary

So far, we've learned what full stack development is and compared two of the most prominent architecture patterns. We also learned about the advantages and disadvantages of monolithic and microservice architecture, which helps us to choose the right pattern for our use case.

In the next chapter, we will take a deep dive into the JHipster platform and look at all the options it provides. We will also learn how to install JHipster and set up our tools and development environment.

Key benefits

  • Build full stack applications with modern JavaScript frameworks such as Angular, React, and Vue.js
  • Explore the JHipster microservices stack, which includes Spring Cloud, Netflix OSS, and the Elastic Stack
  • Learn advanced local and cloud deployment strategies using Docker and Kubernetes

Description

JHipster is an open source development platform that allows you to easily create web apps and microservices from scratch without spending time on wiring and integrating different technologies. Updated to include JHipster 6, Java 11, Spring Boot 2.1, Vue.js, and Istio, this second edition of Full Stack Development with JHipster will help you build full stack applications and microservices seamlessly. You'll start by understanding JHipster and its associated tools, along with the essentials of full stack development, before building a monolithic web app. You'll then learn the JHipster Domain Language (JDL) with entity modeling using JDL-Studio. With this book, you'll create production-ready web apps using Spring Boot, Spring Framework, Angular, and Bootstrap, and run tests and set up continuous integration pipelines with Jenkins. As you advance, you'll learn how to convert your monoliths to microservices and how to package your application for production with various deployment options, including Heroku and Google Cloud. You'll also learn about Docker and Kubernetes, along with an introduction to the Istio service mesh. Finally, you'll build your client-side with React and Vue.js and discover JHipster's best practices. By the end of the book, you'll be able to leverage the best tools available to build modern web apps.

Who is this book for?

This book is for full stack developers who want to build web applications and microservices speedily without writing a lot of boilerplate code. If you’re a backend developer looking to learn full stack development with JavaScript frameworks and libraries such as Angular, React, and Vue.js, you’ll find this book useful. Experience in building Java web applications is required. Some exposure to the Spring Framework would be beneficial but not necessary to get the most out of this book.

What you will learn

  • Create full stack apps from scratch using the latest features of JHipster 6 and Spring Boot 2.1
  • Build business logic by creating and developing entity models using JDL
  • Understand how to convert a monolithic architecture into a full-fledged microservices architecture
  • Build and package your apps for production using Docker
  • Deploy your application to Google Cloud with Kubernetes
  • Create continuous integration/continuous delivery pipelines with Jenkins
  • Create applications using Angular, React, and Vue.js client-side frameworks

Helps you understand the tool better and gives a good head start by explaining the choices that were made while building JHipsterNote: This is not an alternative to Official Documentation. It is to be read along side the docs.Security section should have been explained better.Scenario like multi tenancy, would’ve made it gold.
