[sohibegit]

feature request to generate view model in web.rest.vm package
Thank you

This could be something we can consider for jhipster:util discussed in https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/pull/4104 if we are going that way, I'll also like to move the jhipster:service sub generator into the jhipster:util

• AngularJS 1 is "frozen" at the moment, until we migrate to AngularJS 2, so we can't do it right now
• For AngularJS 2 we need to see if we can be compatible with tools like https://github.com/angular/angular-cli , which would support "simple" generations like this one

Then, of course, I totally like the idea of generating more "simple" templates, not everyone want full-fledge CRUD support.

@jdubois I think @sohibegit want to generate a server side VM in the web.rest.vm package.

[jdubois]

Oh sorry! And that was my idea to call them both "vm" as it's easier to have the same concepts on both sides :-)
Yes we should also have those as an option, but it would be quite a simple generator as I guess it would mostly be generating an empty file.

[sohibegit]

It would be perfect if I can do this without relations:

vm EntityAVM{
   entityA EntityA,
   entityB EntityC,
   listOfEntiyB List<EntityB>,
  ...
}

Is anyone interested in working on this?

I think everybody agrees this would be a good feature, then that's a lot of work and I'd rather focus on Angular 2 at the moment.

Otherwise I will close this for "lack of interest", as I don't want to have old tickets staying opened if nobody works on them.

[jdubois]

I'm closing this for "lack of interest", this is something we can work on after the Angular 2 release, but that's going to take some time.
