I've been trying to use ng-admin 2 instead of standard admin panel in generated JHipster app but couldn't make it work. Has anyone ever swapped out the standard JHipster admin panel for something else for example ng-admin?
It is possible to change the frontend framework to something else, but there is no "really" switch, which acts like a single command turning the existing frontend to something different. The closest thing is a set of JHipster Modules, where people are offering similar things. There will be React support soon.
But if you want to use ng-admin, you will have to implement it manually. If you do so, you might consider doing that as a JHipster module
