v4.0.0

JHipster React Native

Ignite JHipster is changing to JHipster React Native, using JHipster's Blueprint system.

Future npm releases will be done under generator-jhipster-react-native. You can try this branch out with npm install -g generator-jhipster-react-native. A demo blog post is coming soon.

Migration to Blueprint

It was always a goal to use JHipster's Blueprint system for the React Native generator. With the upcoming JHipster v7 release, the blueprint feature is much more robust and developer-friendly. Helped by the fact Ignite's latest major release removed the ability to use a custom boilerplate, push came to shove, and here we are. Migrating to a JHipster blueprint brings many improvements.

JHipster Commands

You can now use the same JHipster commands you would normally use, making sure to pass --blueprints react-native when generating the app. This includes the entity, jdl, and even heroku subgenerators (more on that later).

Full JDL Support

Both app and entity JDL imports work as the same as the main JHipster generator. Set blueprints [react-native] in your app JDL config to generate an application without needing to pass the --blueprints flag.

Automated Sample App Updates

Thanks to @avdev4j's great work in the Quarkus blueprint, we now have a Github Action to auto-update the sample app on release. This is deployed as a static site. It is also available on iOS/Android in the Expo Client (requires an Expo account).

Major Release Features

Expo

The generated app now uses Expo instead of bare-bones React Native (differences). Expo comes prepacked with the most commonly-used native libraries, such as camera, photos, maps, push notifications, and many more. Building and deploying to App Stores is easier too, just run expo build instead of using Xcode and Android Studio.

Expo also enables us to use TypeScript in our applications. Note that the generated app still uses JavaScript but TypeScript is a goal for the next major version.

Tip: If you need to use Native LIbraries not included in Expo, you can run expo eject which will generate the iOS and Android folders for you, similar to v3 of ignite-jhipster. You keep many of the benefits of Expo such as OTA Updates.

OTA Updates

You only need to resubmit your app to the app stores when you update the Expo SDK. All other updates can happen over-the-air by replacing the JavaScript bundle. To build the initial app for App Store submission, run expo build. To update the JavaScript code after that, run expo publish

Web Support (PWA)

Expo comes with React Native Web support, and JHipster React Native has been updated to fully support the web. You can even install the app as a PWA to have similar functionality to an App Store install. See Expo's PWA documentation for more information. PWAs are disabled by default, set offline: true in webpack.config.js to enable it.

Heroku Subgenerator for Web

The new web support enables us to add a Heroku subgenerator for deploying the React Native Web build. Try it out by running jhipster heroku from the root of your JHipster React Native app. Note you will need to configure your apiUrl in app/config/app-config.js to a backend deployment.

Custom Form Implementation

The previous Form library (tcomb-form-native) in Ignite JHipster was deprecated for some time. In order to keep forms simple while handling the variety of entity field types in JHipster, there is now a custom Form implementation, with a component for each field type. It's simple to add more custom field types if needed. An added bonus is that all JHipster validation types are now supported.

React Hooks

All React components were rewritten as function components with full support for hooks. No deprecated componentWill* or componentDid* methods are used in the generated code.
