# Creating a JHLite module

So you want to create a JHLite module? Great!

For that, you'll need to provide 2 main parts:

- `JHipsterModuleResource`: describe the module organization, it is used to generate the APIs;
- `JHipsterModule`: describe the changes done by the module.

You can start by the element you prefer but to create a `JHipsterModuleResource` you'll need to be able to build a `JHipsterModule`.

## Creating a JHipsterModule

In fact, you don't just need to create one `JHipsterModule`, you'll need a factory able to create them since each instance depends on the properties chosen by the users.

So, as this is the business of JHLite you probably want to create a `{{packageName}}.my_module.domain` package. And you can start with a simple test:

```java
import static tech.jhipster.lite.module.infrastructure.secondary.JHipsterModulesAssertions.*;

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import tech.jhipster.lite.TestFileUtils;
import tech.jhipster.lite.UnitTest;
import tech.jhipster.lite.module.domain.JHipsterModule;
import tech.jhipster.lite.module.domain.JHipsterModulesFixture;
import tech.jhipster.lite.module.domain.properties.JHipsterModuleProperties;

@UnitTest
class MyModuleFactoryTest {

  private static final MyModuleFactory factory = new MyModuleFactory();

  @Test
  void shouldBuildModule() {
    JHipsterModuleProperties properties = JHipsterModulesFixture
      .propertiesBuilder(TestFileUtils.tmpDirForTest())
      .basePackage("tech.jhipster.jhlitest")
      .build();

    JHipsterModule module = factory.buildModule(properties);

    assertThatModule(module).hasPrefixedFiles("src/main/java/tech/jhipster/jhlitest/my_package", "Dummy.java");
  }
}

```

A few things to note here:

- We are expecting to have a `buildModule(...)` method in `MyModuleFactory`;
- The `JHipsterModulesAssertions.assertThatModule(...)` will really apply the module to a project and give you a fluent API to ensure some operations;
- Even if the feedback loops are not perfect on that they should be short enough to allow a decent TDD implementation of the factory (on eclipse with [infinitest](https://infinitest.github.io/) feedbacks are under a second).

So, now that we have a first test we can do a simple implementation:

```java
import static tech.jhipster.lite.module.domain.JHipsterModule.*;

public class MyModuleFactory {

  private static final JHipsterSource SOURCE = from("my-module");

  public JHipsterModule buildModule(JHipsterModuleProperties properties) {
    //@formatter:off
    return moduleBuilder(properties)
      .files()
        .add(SOURCE.template("Dummy.java"), toSrcMainJava().append(properties.packagePath()).append("my_package").append("Dummy.java"))
        .and()
      .build();
    //@formatter:on
  }
}

```

This implementation will take a file from `src/main/resources/generator/my-module` and put it in the generated project.

The file is a template named `Dummy.java.mustache` and can contain some mustache placeholders:

```java
package {{packageName}}.my_package;

public class Dummy {
  // ...
}

```

Those placeholders will be replaced by properties values during module application.

And this is it for this part of the documentation... Of course you can do a lot more than that in the `JHipsterModule` but the goal of this documentation is not to go deep in this usage! You have a lot of running example and you can always ask for help, we'll be really happy to help you provide your implementations!

## Creating JHipsterModuleResource

As the main goal of a `JHipsterModuleResource` is to expose a WebService let's start by creating a gherkin scenario for that. So in `src/test/features/my-module.feature` we'll do:

```
Feature: My module

  Scenario: Should apply my module
    When I apply "my-module" module to default project
      | packageName | tech.jhipster.chips |
    Then I should have files in "src/main/java/tech/jhipster/chips/my_package"
      | Dummy.java |
```

> The goal of this test is not to duplicate your factory unit test! Just ensure that one change done by your module is visible here, it is enough since we only want to ensure that the WebService is working as expected.

You can now run `CucumberTest` and ensure that it is failing as expected:

```json
{
  "type": "about:blank",
  "title": "Unknown slug",
  "status": 500,
  "detail": "Unknown slug my-module",
  "instance": "/api/modules/my-module/apply-patch",
  "key": "unknown-slug"
}
```

To be used by JHLite, the `JHipsterModuleResource` needs to be a Spring bean so, let's create a configuration in `{{packageName}}.my_module.infrastructure.primary`:

```java
import static {{packageName}}.slug.domain.MyAppModuleSlug.*;

import {{packageName}}.my_module.application.MyModuleApplicationService;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import tech.jhipster.lite.module.domain.resource.JHipsterModulePropertiesDefinition;
import tech.jhipster.lite.module.domain.resource.JHipsterModuleResource;

@Configuration
class MyModuleModuleConfiguration {

  @Bean
  JHipsterModuleResource myModule(MyModuleApplicationService myModules) {
    return JHipsterModuleResource
      .builder()
      .slug(MY_MODULE)
      .propertiesDefinition(JHipsterModulePropertiesDefinition.builder().addBasePackage().build())
      .apiDoc("Group", "This is my module")
      .standalone()
      .tags("server")
      .factory(myModules::buildModule);
  }
}

```

In fact, you don't really have choices here, the `JHipsterModuleResource.builder()` is fluent and will only let you go to the next possible step. The most confusing one may be the last one `.factory(myModules::buildModule)` which is, in fact, a method called to build the module.

You'll need to create the MyAppModuleSlug.MY_MODULE enum, which was mentioned earlier. Let's create it in the `{{packageName}}.slug.domain` package:

```java
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Optional;
import java.util.function.Function;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import java.util.stream.Stream;
import tech.jhipster.lite.module.domain.resource.JHipsterModuleSlugFactory;

public enum MyAppModuleSlug implements JHipsterModuleSlugFactory {
  MY_MODULE("my-module");

  private static final Map moduleSlugMap = Stream
    .of(values())
    .collect(Collectors.toMap(MyAppModuleSlug::get, Function.identity()));
  private final String slug;

  MyAppModuleSlug(String slug) {
    this.slug = slug;
  }

  @Override
  public String get() {
    return slug;
  }

  public static Optional fromString(String slug) {
    return Optional.ofNullable(moduleSlugMap.get(slug));
  }
}

```

For this to work, we'll need to add a simple orchestration class in `{{packageName}}.my_module.application`:

```java
@Service
public class MyModuleApplicationService {

  private final MyModuleFactory factory;

  public MyModuleApplicationService() {
    factory = new MyModuleFactory();
  }

  public JHipsterModule buildModule(JHipsterModuleProperties properties) {
    return factory.buildModule(properties);
  }
}

```

In your `JHipsterModuleResource` you can define additional properties and an organization to display your module in the landscape (replacing `.standalone()`). Here again, you have a lot of examples to rely on.

## Hide modules

You can hide modules from your custom instance in project configuration with:

- `jhlite-hidden-resources.slugs`: To disable including its dependencies by slugs
- `jhlite-hidden-resources.tags`: To disable by tags

## Docker versions

To define custom docker versions you'll need to define a `DockerImagesReader` spring bean, example:

```java
@Repository
class MyDockerImagesReader implements DockerImagesReader {

  @Override
  public DockerImageVersions get() {
    return new DockerImageVersions(List.of(new DockerImageVersion("tomcat", "1.2.3")));
  }
}

```

Of course you can add any version resolution logic you want in the implementation. You can have a look at [FileSystemDockerImagesReader](https://github.com/jhipster/jhipster-lite/blob/main/src/main/java/tech/jhipster/lite/module/infrastructure/secondary/docker/FileSystemDockerImagesReader.java) for an implementation reading from a local file (managed by dependabot).

## Java versions

To define custom java dependencies versions you'll need to define a `JavaDependenciesReader` spring bean, example:

```java
@Repository
class MyJavaDependenciesReader implements JavaDependenciesReader {

  @Override
  public JavaDependenciesVersions get() {
    return new JavaDependenciesVersions(List.of(new JavaDependencyVersion("json-web-token", "1.2.3")));
  }
}

```

Of course you can add any version resolution logic you want in the implementation. You can have a look at [FileSystemJavaDependenciesReader](https://github.com/jhipster/jhipster-lite/blob/main/src/main/java/tech/jhipster/lite/module/infrastructure/secondary/javadependency/FileSystemJavaDependenciesReader.java) for an implementation reading from a local file (managed by dependabot).

You can add it in your tests using

```java
TestJHipsterModules.register(myReader);
```

And remove it using

```java
TestJHipsterModules.unregisterReaders();
```

## Npm versions

To define custom npm dependencies you'll need to define a `NpmVersionsReader` spring bean, example:

```java
@Repository
class MyNpmVersionsReader implements NpmVersionsReader {

  @Override
  public NpmPackagesVersions get() {
    return NpmPackagesVersions.builder().put(NpmVersionSource.COMMON, packages(new NpmPackage("vue", "1.2.7"))).build();
  }
}

```

Of course you can add any version resolution logic you want in the implementation. You can have a look at [FileSystemNpmVersionReader](https://github.com/jhipster/jhipster-lite/blob/main/src/main/java/tech/jhipster/lite/module/infrastructure/secondary/javadependency/FileSystemJavaDependenciesReader.java) for an implementation reading from a local file (managed by dependabot).

You can add it in your tests using

```java
TestJHipsterModules.register(myReader);
```

And remove it using

```java
TestJHipsterModules.unregisterReaders();
```
