18. Roadmap
J

19. ● Move to JDL based application/entity configuration management
○ Use JDL instead of .yo-rc & .jhipster/*.json
○ More centralized & uniform config
○ Less ways of saving configuration (less code to maintain)
● More JDL only features for advanced use cases
● JDL grammar improvements
○ Abstract entities & applications
○ Inheritance
○ Annotations
○ Service creation via JDL
○ Cloud deployments
● Merge JHipster-core (JDL) into the generator core
JDL centric configuration
J

20. ● Prettier is the most popular code formatter in the
front-end world
○ It’s fast, you press save and your code is clean
○ Integrates with most editors
○ Supports many languages
● Already widely used in JHipster, for everything excepted
Java
● We’re doing the official Java version
○ Huge work, as we also needed to create a Java
parser in JavaScript
○ Nearly done
○ Try & contribute:
https://github.com/jhipster/prettier-java
Prettier plugin for Java
J

21. ● A few years ago, JHipster only supported Angular(Js)
○ Now we support Angular, React and Vue.js !
● Same thing is happening on the backend
○ JHipster Kotlin
○ Micronaut
○ Quarkus
○ JHipster .NET
○ NodeJS
● New goals for the main JHipster team
○ Welcome those other teams (also with bug bounties!)
○ Improve our Open API support
○ Improve e2e tests
JHipster with other backend technologies
J

22. ● Migration of our Continuous Integration system to Azure DevOps
○ Faster and much improved builds
■ 10 parallel builds
■ Daily builds
○ All for free!
● Azure Deployment
○ Work has begun to do automatic deployment
to Azure
○ We got improved support from Microsoft
since a few weeks 🤣
Azure Pipelines & Azure DevOps
J

23. Improved cloud support
● 2 ways are ahead for Kubernetes
○ Use Spring Kubernetes and Spring Cloud: we
remain independent of Kubernetes, and add
specific services to support it
○ Go “Kubernetes native” and rely directly on the
platform and extensions (Istio)
● Redis support is necessary to have an easy-to-use,
cloud-ready distributed cache
● Discussion is open on “Severless” support, with
maybe a “JHipster Function”

Enjoy JHipster Conf !
