generator-jhipster-yellowbricks-client-contextpath

One of - a JHipster blueprint that sets the <base href> in client HTML files to a configurable context path.

JHipster source

• Generator: generators/client
• Templates:
  • index.html.ejs
  • swagger-ui/index.html.ejs

What it does

Patches two HTML files during generation:

src/main/webapp/index.html

-<base href="/" />
+<base href="/jh/" />

src/main/webapp/swagger-ui/index.html

-<base href="/swagger-ui/" />
+<base href="/jh/swagger-ui/" />

The value is configurable — any context path can be used.

Prerequisites

• Node.js ^22.18.0 || >=24.11.0
• JHipster 9

Installation

npm install -g generator-jhipster-yellowbricks-client-contextpath

Usage

Create a .yo-rc.json in your project directory with the desired context path:

{
  "generator-jhipster-yellowbricks-client-contextpath": {
    "contextPath": "/jh/"
  }
}

Then run JHipster with this blueprint:

# Standard generator
jhipster --blueprints yellowbricks-client-contextpath

# With JDL
jhipster import-jdl your-app.jdl --blueprints yellowbricks-client-contextpath

Replace /jh/ with your actual context path. The trailing slash is required.
