JHipster module for converting Postgresql keys from Long to UUID
This is a JHipster module, that is meant
to be used in a JHipster application. The purpose of this module is to
convert a monolithic JHipster application using Long primary keys
to UUID based primary keys.
It is important to note that since we don't know what relations may exist, the module converts all Long members of Entity classes. You might need to do some manual adjustments to converted code.
As this is a JHipster module, we expect you have JHipster and its related tools already installed:
To install this module:
yarn global add generator-jhipster-postgresuuid-converterTo update this module:
yarn global upgrade generator-jhipster-postgresuuid-converterTo install this module:
npm install -g generator-jhipster-postgresuuid-converterTo update this module:
npm update -g generator-jhipster-postgresuuid-converterOnce a monolithic JHipster application using Postgresql is generated, install the module as listed above. On installation, the module will convert the generated code to use UUIDs (entities are not affected).
For entities you will need to regenerate the entities. After regeneration Jhipster will call this module as a post entity creation hook and module will convert that entity to UUID based. Any new entity that is generated after the installation of this module will automatically be UUID based.
- In some cases tests may not compile as some number conversion may be incorrect.
- ElasticSearch probably won't work as it does not accepts a UUID primary key. As per my understanding a converter is needed. I don't know how to write that so any suggestions are welcome.
