Removing an entity

[Christophe Bornet]

Hi all,

I have found that it it is quite hard to remove an existing entity so I would like to work on a feature to cleanly remove entities. Something like yo jhipster:entity Foo clean. Do you think that would be useful ?

[Julien Dubois]

I've already had this question and my answer was to use Git instead :-)

Then again: I'm very conservative for our "main" generator as afterwards we need to maintain all that code, and that's making me think more and more about the "plugin" system. That would definitively be the right solution.

Yes a seperate yo generator that just reads the files and does stuff
If we modularize our main gen and sub gen so that all reusable code and utils are in a seperate npm module then any yo generator can inject them and use those to do stuff

Oh yes ! I always use git when upgrading/adding entities. It didn't occur to me that I could use it to remove entities... :-) Thanks a lot !

Actually, git is not enough : it's OK for files that are modified such as liquibase's master.xml but it doesn't allow to remove previously created files (like FooResource.java).
You could generate a twin project and make a diff from it but it's a bit overkill and I think not really convenient.

[Zsombor]

You can run "git clean -df" to get rid of the untracked files anytime.

But the files that need to be removed are tracked, so they won't be cleaned.
