Creating an entity

Introduction​

JHipster Quarkus entity creations permits to generate

  • A database table
  • A Liquibase change set
  • A JPA Entity
  • A Quarkus Panache Active Record or Repository
  • A Resteasy Controller, which has the basic CRUD operations
  • Data Transfer Objects (DTOs)
  • Pagination
  • Tests

and delegates to JHipster the client side components generation
