About the JHipster Mini-Book

A free, open-source guide that will get you started with Angular, Bootstrap, and Spring Boot — all through the JHipster project.

What's in the book?

The JHipster Mini-Book is a free, open-source guide that walks you through building a modern web application with Angular (or React/Vue), Bootstrap, and Spring Boot. The application is called "21-Points Health" — a health-tracking tool Matt Raible built to score his own wellness habits against a 21-point checklist.

You'll learn how to:

  • Generate a production-grade monolithic app with JHipster
  • Convert it into a microservices architecture with Spring Cloud
  • Deploy to Heroku, Google Cloud, or AWS
  • Secure user data with OAuth 2.0 and OIDC
  • Add a Progressive Web App (PWA) layer and service worker
  • Set up CI with Travis, Jenkins, or GitHub Actions
  • Use Docker and Kubernetes in production

The latest version is v7.0, published March 2023, updated for JHipster 7 and Spring Boot 2.7.
