Yeoman generator
Trick question. It's not a thing. It's this guy:
Basically, he wears a top hat, lives in your computer, and waits for you to tell him what kind of application you wish to create.
Not every new computer comes with a Yeoman pre-installed. He lives in the npm package repository. You only have to ask for him once, then he packs up and moves into your hard drive. Make sure you clean up, he likes new and shiny things.
npm install -g yo
Yeoman travels light. He didn't pack any generators when he moved in. You can think of a generator like a plug-in. You get to choose what type of application you wish to create, such as a Backbone application or even a Chrome extension.
To install generator-fluxme:
npm install -g generator-fluxme
Create your project folder and finally, initiate the generator:
yo fluxme
FluxMe Generator is a tool created at zoover, that we hope to make a faster starting point while trying to create a React/Fluxible Isomorphic web app with some basic setup, that might be too much when beginning with a new tech stack as this.
It includes a basic setup, code conventions, and we believe that this generator will help people keep on conventions and standards while getting a grip on this new react and fluxible stack.
- Gulp tasks sass, favicons, image processing, watchers, linting
- Webpack for js compiling
- Fetchr fluxible plugin to create reusable services between client and server
- Fluxible because with the think is the right way for isomorphic apps
- Fluxible router plugin
The generator includes some basic functions such as:
yo fluxme:action name-of-action
yo fluxme:action name-of-event
It will just update the config event file
yo fluxme:route name-of-route
It will ask you then what type of route do you prefer (GET,PUT,POST,DELETE) and the path which can be any format in conventions (/test or /test/:id)
yo fluxme:service name-of-service
It will update the config file to register this new service
yo fluxme:store name-of-store
It will update the config file to register this new store
yo fluxme:component name-of-component
It will ask you then if it is a view controller or not, to create a different template with a basic empty fluxbible store connection
Yeoman has a heart of gold. He's a person with feelings and opinions, but he's very easy to work with. If you think he's too opinionated, he can be easily convinced.
