JHipster release v5.0.0

This is our first stable release of JHipster 5!

Here is a summary of the release notes from our 4 beta releases of JHipster 5.0.0, updated with our latest changes.

Front-end

React support #6044 (out of experimental status)
- Same features as our Angular support (including updates mentioned below regarding dialogs and entity folder structure)
- Uses Redux for state management
- Uses React Router v4 for routing
- Written in Typescript
- Webpack 4 is used for builds and is very similar to our Angular Webpack setup
- Jest + Mocha + Chai unit tests with good coverage
Improved Angular support
- Upgrade to Angular 6 thanks to William Marques in #7582
- This includes a migration to Webpack 4, which gives a nice performance boost (it varies depending on your situation, but you can expect a noticeable positive impact) #7186
- Lazy loading support for the admin modules #7235
- Reworked entity create/edit screens, they are normal pages now instead of popup dialogs #7368
- Improved AOT setup
- The folder structure of entities have been improved, especially for microservices as now they are grouped by services. There is a --skip-ui-grouping flag to retain the old behaviour #7079
Support of Webpack 4 for both Angular and React, which allows much faster builds for both.
Support of Jest instead of Puppeteer (and previously PhantomJS) for both Angular and React will provide much faster installation and testing (including parallel tests!). It will also solve all CI issues (typically with Jenkins) when running front-end tests, as it doesn’t require to have native libraries installed. See #7636 and #7663 from William Marques.
Prettier support #6906
- Both Angular and React now uses Prettier to format code.
- This also adds Husky and list-staged to enable pre-commit hooks
- Please use the skip-commit-hook flag to disable the pre-commit hooks when generating the application
- Prettier is also configured for CSS and SCSS files in #7451.
Upgrade to Font Awesome 5 for both Angular and React, see #7516.
Removed AngularJS support
- As we now focus on Angular 5+, we have removed our support for the older AngularJS 1.x
- As a side effect support for Bower and Gulp also have been removed

Back-end

Spring Boot 2.0.0 support #7061
- All Spring libraries have been upgraded, including Spring Data, Spring Security and Spring Cloud
- The Spring Boot configuration has also been upgraded
Refined REST support by removing the “feature” of creating entities using the @PutMapping annotation. See #7425.
Much improved OAuth2 support thanks to the great work of Fabien Arrault which was integrated by Matt Raible. Most of this work can be seen in #7666.
Migration from swagger-codegen to openapi-generator (which is a community-driven fork of swagger-codegen) has been done by Christophe Bornet, who is both a member of the JHipster core team and the openapi-generator team. More information on #7728.
Memcached support, as an alternative Spring Cache implementation. This will be much easier to use than Ehcache/Hazelcast/Infinispan on main cloud providers like Heroku, GCP and AWS.
“Social Login” using Google/Twitter/Facebook has been removed as Spring Social is not actively maintained anymore. Currently you can use Keycloack to achieve the same result, and in the near future you should be able to use our new OAuth2 support.

As we also improved our database schema, our initial Liquibase changelog has been modified. To upgrade an existing schema (ie. JHipster 4.x), you can use the following changelog:

    <changeSet id="00000000000002" author="jhipster">
        <modifyDataType columnName="email"
                        newDataType="varchar(254)"
                        tableName="jhi_user"/>
    </changeSet>
    <changeSet id="00000000000003" author="jhipster" >
        <dropIndex  indexName="idx_user_login"
                    tableName="jhi_user"/>
    </changeSet>
    <changeSet id="00000000000004" author="jhipster" >
        <dropIndex  indexName="idx_user_email"
                    tableName="jhi_user"/>
    </changeSet>
    <changeSet id="00000000000005" author="jhipster" >
        <addNotNullConstraint   columnName="password_hash"
                                columnDataType="varchar(60)"
                                tableName="jhi_user"/>
    </changeSet>

Sub-generators and tooling

JDL v2 with application generation support #7339
- As a result, the language evolved dramatically, and you can now build full applications using the JDL, and not just entities. This is a huge news if you want to share and reuse your JHipster configuration.
New JHipster blueprints
- The blueprints system allows to easily extends and/or replace JHipster templates. This is how the new JHipster Kotlin works. This isn’t well-documented yet, but JHipster Kotlin already gives a nice working example.
New Sub-generator to deploy to AWS containers #7035
Initial Istio support #7337 has been added in #7695 by Ray Tsang from Google, and #7697 by Srinivasa Vasu. With the help of Pierre Besson.
Google App Engine support for monoliths by Ray Tsang from Google, see #7765.

更新指引

自动升级

在已存在的项目上使用JHipster upgrade sub-generator自动升级:

升级Jhipster版本:

yarn global upgrade generator-jhipster

然后升级子生成器:

jhipster upgrade

手动升级

选择手动升级, 需要先升级你的Jhipster版本:

yarn global upgrade generator-jhipster

如果你已经有了一个项目, 将会继续使用当时项目生成的Jhipster版本. 如果需要升级你的项目, 你需要先删除node_modules文件夹再运行:

jhipster

更新你的项目和所有的实体类

jhipster --with-entities

你也可以使用实体类子生成器挨个更新你的实体类, 例如你的实体类名字是_Foo_

jhipster entity Foo
