Generator-jhipster: Is Node.js Backend on the Roadmap? :)

[yatendragoel]

Overview of the feature request

The way we have an option between React and Angular on the frontend side, Is Node.js backend as an alternative option for SpringBoot backend on the roadmap?

Motivation for or Use Case

React frontend goes hand-in-in with Node.js backend

[pascalgrimaud]

No, NodeJS as a backend, is not on our roadmap.
But have a look at https://www.jhipster.tech/modules/creating-a-blueprint/

Now, you can code a specific generator for the backend, similar to what is done with Kotlin (see https://github.com/jhipster/jhipster-kotlin)
Don't hesitate to tell us if you decide to start this blueprint. I'm pretty sure you can find people for contributing.

[jdubois]

Yes, we also have people who want a Java EE, PHP and .NET backend... We just can't do everything, but we welcome and will help people doing those projects.

in case if is a chance for nodejs backend i highly recommend NestJS(https://github.com/nestjs/nest)

[dave0688]

I agree with @alexplacinta. NestJS is an awesome framework, growing extremely fast, and plus: Typescript 💃

I wanted to do a NodeJS blueprint for the microservice backend for a while now but I don't have the bandwidth to do it alone. If anyone is interested in starting one I'll be happy to help

@deepu105 I'm interested to start a nodeJS blueprint, so that we can extend the jhipster generation also for electron desktop app

[deepu105]

Awesome, let me create a repo and give you access to it.

Thanks & Regards,
Deepu
