Get Started with Ionic for JHipster

Install Ionic for JHipster:

npm i -g generator-jhipster-ionic yo

In a directory alongside your JHipster app, create your Ionic app with yo jhipster-ionic.

- jhipster-app
- <run it here>

To add PWA support to your Ionic app, run:

ng add @angular/pwa

To import your JHipster app's JDL, run yo jhipster-ionic:import-jdl <path-to-jhipster-app>/entities.jdl.

iOS

Generate a native iOS project with the following commands:

ionic build
ionic capacitor add ios

Add your custom scheme to ios/App/App/Info.plist:

<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
  <dict>
    <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
    <string>com.getcapacitor.capacitor</string>
    <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
    <array>
      <string>capacitor</string>
      <string>dev.localhost.ionic</string>
      <string>com.okta.dev-737523</string>
    </array>
  </dict>
</array>

Then, run your project using the Capacitor CLI:

npx cap run ios

Modify CORS Settings in JHipster

In order to communicate with your JHipster app, you'll need to modify its CORS settings (in src/main/resources/config/application-dev.yml) to allow capacitor://localhost as an origin.

Android

Generate a native project with the following commands:

ionic build
ionic capacitor add android

Change the custom scheme in android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml to use dev.localhost.ionic or your reverse domain name:

<string name="custom_url_scheme">com.okta.dev-737523</string>

The SafariViewController Cordova Plugin is installed as part of this project. Capacitor uses AndroidX dependencies, but the SafariViewController plugin uses an older non-AndroidX dependency. Use jetifier to patch usages of old support libraries with the following commands:

npm install jetifier
npx jetify
npx cap sync android

Then, run your project using the Capacitor CLI:

npx cap run android

Modify CORS Settings in JHipster

In order to communicate with your JHipster app, you'll need to modify its CORS settings (in src/main/resources/config/application-dev.yml) to allow http://localhost as an origin.

v6.1.1

What’s Changed

• Fix e2e tests so everything works with JHipster 6. See this commit for more information.

v6.1.0

What’s Changed

• Add support for JHipster 7 beta (#421)
• Upgrade to Angular 11.2.0 and Ionic CLI 6.13.1
• Upgrade @oktadev/schematics to v3.0.4
• Change gateway integration test to be reactive (#448)
• Update all dependencies to use their latest versions

Get Started

To get started with Ionic for JHipster, create a backend with JHipster, and install the following libraries:

npm install -g @ionic/cli generator-jhipster-ionic yo

Then, run this module to create your Ionic app:

yo jhipster-ionic

This module expects you to already have a JHipster app created. For example:

mkdir -p apps/backend
cd apps/backend
jhipster jdl blog-oauth2
cd ..
yo jhipster-ionic default
cd ionic4j
yo jhipster-ionic:import-jdl ../backend/blog-oauth2.jdl

Then, run your app with ionic serve. Make sure everything works with npm run e2e.

See the iOS and Android docs to see how to test your app on a device.

v6.0.0

• Upgrades @oktadev/schematics to v3.0.0. Capacitor is now the default!
• Upgrades to JHipster 6.10.3.

To get started with Ionic4J, create a backend with JHipster, and install the following libraries:

npm install -g @ionic/cli generator-jhipster-ionic yo

Then, run this module to create your Ionic app:

yo jhipster-ionic

This module expects you to already have a JHipster app created. For example:

mkdir -p apps/backend
cd apps/backend
jhipster jdl blog-oauth2
cd ..
yo jhipster-ionic
cd ionic4j
yo jhipster-ionic:import-jdl ../backend/blog-oauth2.jdl

Then, run your app with ionic serve.

See the iOS and Android docs to see how to test your app on a device.

v5.2.2

• Upgrades @oktadev/schematics to v2.2.0 for Angular 10 + OIDC apps
• Upgrades to JHipster 6.10.1

To get started with Ionic4J, create a backend with JHipster, and install the following libraries:

npm install -g @ionic/cli generator-jhipster-ionic yo

Then, run this module to create your Ionic app:

yo jhipster-ionic

This module expects you to already have a JHipster app created. For example, let's say you have backend/app.jdl for creating JHipster.

mkdir -p apps/backend
cd apps/backend
jhipster import-jdl app.jdl
cd ..
yo jhipster-ionic
cd ionic4j
yo jhipster-ionic:import-jdl ../backend/app.jdl

v5.2.1

• Removes /implicit from redirect URIs because authorization code flow + PKCE is used
• Upgrades to JHipster 6.9.0

To get started with Ionic4J, create a backend with JHipster and install the following libraries:

npm install -g @ionic/cli generator-jhipster-ionic yo

Then, run this module to create your Ionic app:

yo jhipster-ionic

v5.2.0

• Migrate from Travis to GitHub Actions for CI (thanks to @Hawkurane and @Shaolans)
• Adds unit and e2e tests for generated entities (thanks @amanganiello90)
• Renames templates to end in .ejs
• Fixes code coverage reporting
• Fixes date handling in generated entities

To get started with Ionic4J, create a backend with JHipster first. Then install the necessary libraries:

npm install -g @ionic/cli generator-jhipster-ionic yo

Then, run the following to create your Ionic app:

yo jhipster-ionic

NOTE: By default, JHipster's Keycloak is configured to have a 5-minute access token lifetime. I've noticed that this makes it so you have to re-authenticate when you refresh the page (if you're using OAuth 2.0). To make it longer, log in to http://localhost:9080/auth, then go to Realm Settings > Tokens and change the Access Token Lifespan. This could also be caused by dynamic configuration. I'm not sure. 🙂
