jhipster: Add a new entity to a generated project.

jhipster

$ jhipster entity ${entity_name}

try on your machine

This command is used in the JHipster framework to generate a new entity with the specified name.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

jhipster: This is a command-line tool used to generate projects, entities, and other artifacts in the JHipster framework. It is used to quickly scaffold a full-stack application using Spring Boot, Angular, and other technologies.
entity: This is the subcommand that tells JHipster to generate a new entity.
${entity_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the entity you want to generate. It is typically in camel case format, like Post, Product, or User.

When you run this command with the actual entity name, JHipster will create the necessary files and configurations for the entity. It will generate model classes, JPA (Java Persistence API) entities, database configurations, RESTful controllers, Angular components (if using Angular as the frontend framework), and other required artifacts.

By utilizing this command, developers can easily create and manage entities in their JHipster applications, reducing the time and effort required for manual coding.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
