Bower VS JHipster

Compare Bower vs JHipster and see what are their differences.

JHipster

JHipster, much like Spring initializr, is a generator to create a boilerplate backend application, but also with an integrated front end implementation in React, Vue or Angular. In their own words, it "Is a development platform to quickly generate, develop, & deploy modern web applications & microservice architectures." (by jhipster)

    Bower is a package manager specifically designed for front-end web development. It can be used to manage JavaScript, CSS, and HTML packages and dependencies. It was developed by Twitter and is known for its simplicity and ease of use. However, it is worth noting that Bower is no longer actively maintained, and developers are encouraged to use other package managers like Yarn or PNPM instead.

    What we see, a decade ago, are that many of the "popular" libraries, frameworks, and methods, not surprisingly, have gone by the wayside, a lot that have remained in current code as difficult-to-removemodernize legacy cruft (Bower, Gulp, Grunt, Backbone, Angular 1, ...), and then we have the small minority that are still here. Some that remain have had their utility lessened/questioned by platform and language improvements (jQuery, lodash, ...), but very, very few exist that are the same now as they were then. Another fun historical reference: issue #118 of "JavaScript Weekly" (February 22, 2013) includes a first link out to asm.js.

    In this way, all the packages that we add in the require section of composer.json, will be installed in the ./node_modulesdirectory, and their download will be managed by asset-packagist, to see the available packages, you can search for both bower and npm packages.

  • Are there any recommended libraries to make Spring Boot development even faster / easier?
    4 projects | /r/learnjava | 30 Dec 2022
    What you maybe asking for is something like vaadin or jhipster which marries the front with the backend. (I don't like them tbh but it worth mentioning)
  • Looking for a ready-to-extend-and-deploy OpenID + Spring REST solution.
