jHipster: how to generate only entities during jdl import

Question

jHipster: how to generate only entities during jdl import

or entities plus dto and mappers?

jhipster import-jdl jhipster-jdl.jh

Answer 1

To generate just entities (and skip application JDL generation), you can pass --ignore-application. The full command will look like: jhipster import-jdl jhipster-jdl.jh --ignore-application

If you want DTOs and Mappers, add dto * with mapstruct to the bottom of your JDL. More info in the docs: https://jhipster.tech/jdl/

Answer 2

You can use jhipster entity <entityName> --[options] where options are:

• --skip-server - This will skip the server-side code and will generate only the client-side code.
• --skip-client - This will skip the client-side code and will generate only the server-side code.
