Now, let's look at how we can create an entity using the JHipster entity generator with a React client-side. We will create a simple employee entity with the name, age, and date of birth fields:
- Open a Terminal, navigate to the folder of the React app, and run jhipster entity employee.
- Create the fields one by one, select Yes for the question Do you want to add a field to your entity?, and start filling in the field with name for the next question, What is the name of your field?
- Select String as the field type for the next question, What is the type of your field?
- For the question Which validation rules do you want to add?, choose Required for the name field and proceed.
- Continue this process for the age and dob fields. age is of the integer type, while dob is of the instant type.
- When asked again, Do you want to add a field...
