Hi @mraible,

Is it difficult to add option -yesToAll and the path for backend
That would reply yes to all and considered my Backend Path?
Something like?
yo jhipster-ionic:entity MyEntity -yesToAll ../MyBackEnd

With 100 entities is just run that and we have the same as jdl :-)

Example: When I generate backend I get only for the changed entities:

Entity NmsIntegratorServer generated successfully.
Entity NmsIntServerBrand generated successfully.
Entity NmsChgNetwork generated successfully.
Entity NmsAlert generated successfully.
Entity NmsPatientState generated successfully.
Entity NmsAlertReason generated successfully.
Entity NmsAlertLog generated successfully.
Entity NmsAlertPrecedence generated successfully.
Entity NmsChatRead generated successfully.
Entity NmsChatReceived generated successfully.
Entity NmsFamily generated successfully.

I would replace by

yo jhipster-ionic:entity NmsIntegratorServer -yesToAll ../MyBackEnd
yo jhipster-ionic:entity NmsIntServerBrand -yesToAll ../MyBackEnd
yo jhipster-ionic:entity NmsChgNetwork -yesToAll ../MyBackEnd
yo jhipster-ionic:entity NmsAlert -yesToAll ../MyBackEnd
yo jhipster-ionic:entity NmsPatientState -yesToAll ../MyBackEnd
yo jhipster-ionic:entity NmsAlertReason -yesToAll ../MyBackEnd
yo jhipster-ionic:entity NmsAlertLog -yesToAll ../MyBackEnd
yo jhipster-ionic:entity NmsAlertPrecedence -yesToAll ../MyBackEnd
yo jhipster-ionic:entity NmsChatRead -yesToAll ../MyBackEnd
yo jhipster-ionic:entity NmsChatReceived -yesToAll ../MyBackEnd
yo jhipster-ionic:entity NmsFamily -yesToAll ../MyBackEnd

And run it without having to answer nothing it would be almost the same as having jdl :-)

What do you think?

@Entrecampos I originally tried to do yo jhipster-ionic:entity *, but was unable to capture the asterisk character. It seems it's being swallowed by Yeoman.

I agree that we should have one command that generates all entities. I think import-jdl is the most familiar to people using JHipster, so that's what I'd like to support.

@mraible Yes it makes sense jdl. But if possible -yesToAll would be great :-)

@deepu105 I see that import-jdl.js in JHipster is not a generator, so it's not as easy to extend as the entity generator was. Do you know if it's possible to extend import-jdl from JHipster and implement it in Ionic (which is a Yeoman module, not a blueprint). If not, I can probably just copy/paste the whole thing.

Thanks!
