A yeoman generator for Spring Boot & Spring Cloud applications

generator-spring

A Yeoman generator for scaffolding and bootstrapping Spring Boot and Spring Cloud applications. Provides the same selectable options as Spring Initializr, but with and interactive CLI interface so your hands can stay where they belong, on the keyboard!

Getting Started

Install Yeoman

$ npm install -g yo

Install generator-spring

$ npm install -g generator-spring

Initiate spring-generator!

$ yo spring

The interactive CLI menu will guide the way.

Extras (Sub-generators)

Creates a REST endpoint

$ yo spring:rest

Creates a REST endpoint with HATEOAS support (has dependency on choosing the hateoas starter option)

$ yo spring:hateoas

Creates an initial Thymeleaf view (has dependency on choosing the Thyemleaf starter option)

$ yo spring:route

TODO

• Add the new Spring Cloud libs supported with Spring Boot 1.5.x
• Add support for createing a serverless (AWS) project with Spring Cloud Function.
• Add React support. This will essentially scaffold an opinionated react SPA (webpack/es6/material-ui) as the front end.

generator-spring's Issues

Maven support

The Spring Boot generator should provide the option to use Maven instead of Gradle.

Groovy support

The Spring Boot generator should provide the option to use Groovy instead of Java.

(Great job with this by the way. Thank you!)

Activity?

Is this project still being actively maintained?

Option to group generated artifacts by functionality

Instead of Controller / domain / etc split, put everything in one type of thing. Set globally (i.e, profile).

npm install yo spring-generator -g fails as it is not published to the npm registry

Hello,
This looks very cool! I'm trying to work on combining Yeoman + Thymeleaf, and this a good step.

When I try to install it:
npm install yo spring-generator -g
I get:
npm ERR! 404 'spring-generator' is not in the npm registry.
npm ERR! 404 You should bug the author to publish it

I can still install a private npm:
npm install git://github.com/tomaslin/generator-spring.git
yo spring

Spring Boot Redis Version

@davetownsend - I created a new project which will use redis and v1.5.3.RELEASE of spring boot. It seems the redis jar has been renamed.

The build fails with this error
