But i dont want a DB at all i just need a nice front end application

Then why use JHipster? Use the Angular CLI to build the client app directly. — jonrsharpe
The generated client has a menu for database depending on which db you select for backend. Why don't try and see what's generated ? — Gaël Marziou

Ive just tried with --db sql,
then changed path in webpack.common.js SERVER_API_URL: working fine.
So this key says what db is on your backend, and yes, it's confusing.
