# myapp This application was generated using JHipster 4.4.1, you can find documentation and help at [https://jhipster.github.io/documentation-archive/v4.4.1](https://jhipster.github.io/documentation-archive/v4.4.1). ## Development Before you can build this project, you must install and configure the following dependencies on your machine: 1. [Node.js][]: We use Node to run a development web server and build the project. Depending on your system, you can install Node either from source or as a pre-packaged bundle. After installing Node, you should be able to run the following command to install development tools. You will only need to run this command when dependencies change in [package.json](package.json). npm install We use [Gulp][] as our build system. Install the Gulp command-line tool globally with: npm install -g gulp-cli Run the following commands in two separate terminals to create a blissful development experience where your browser auto-refreshes when files change on your hard drive. ./mvnw gulp [Bower][] is used to manage CSS and JavaScript dependencies used in this application. You can upgrade dependencies by specifying a newer version in [bower.json](bower.json). You can also run `bower update` and `bower install` to manage dependencies. Add the `-h` flag on any command to see how you can use it. For example, `bower update -h`. For further instructions on how to develop with JHipster, have a look at [Using JHipster in development][]. ## Building for production To optimize the myapp application for production, run: ./mvnw -Pprod clean package This will concatenate and minify the client CSS and JavaScript files. It will also modify `index.html` so it references these new files. To ensure everything worked, run: java -jar target/*.war Then navigate to [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080) in your browser. Refer to [Using JHipster in production][] for more details. ## Testing To launch your application's tests, run: ./mvnw clean test ### Client tests Unit tests are run by [Karma][] and written with [Jasmine][]. They're located in [src/test/javascript/](src/test/javascript/) and can be run with: gulp test ### Other tests Performance tests are run by [Gatling][] and written in Scala. They're located in [src/test/gatling](src/test/gatling) and can be run with: ./mvnw gatling:execute For more information, refer to the [Running tests page][]. ## Using Docker to simplify development (optional) You can use Docker to improve your JHipster development experience. A number of docker-compose configuration are available in the [src/main/docker](src/main/docker) folder to launch required third party services. For example, to start a mysql database in a docker container, run: docker-compose -f src/main/docker/mysql.yml up -d To stop it and remove the container, run: docker-compose -f src/main/docker/mysql.yml down You can also fully dockerize your application and all the services that it depends on. To achieve this, first build a docker image of your app by running: ./mvnw package -Pprod docker:build Then run: docker-compose -f src/main/docker/app.yml up -d For more information refer to [Using Docker and Docker-Compose][], this page also contains information on the docker-compose sub-generator (`yo jhipster:docker-compose`), which is able to generate docker configurations for one or several JHipster applications. ## Continuous Integration (optional) To configure CI for your project, run the ci-cd sub-generator (`yo jhipster:ci-cd`), this will let you generate configuration files for a number of Continuous Integration systems. Consult the [Setting up Continuous Integration][] page for more information.
