Scaffolding application templates using Yeoman.io
When you quickly need to create a new application starting every time from scratch can be a pain in the back side 🙂 But have no fear – there is a really nice service called Yeoman available here ( http://yeoman.io/ ).
Based on community best practices it acts as “generator” of all what you need to start your new app. Since I’m using MacBook nowadays – we will go through installation on that platform.
|
1 |
brew install node |
Once done we can install yeoman and for demo purposes generator for hubot
|
1 |
npm install -g yo generator-hubot |
And there it is 😉 from this point onwards we just just create our apps – easily and whats most import on demand! Let’s start with something simple like Hubot
|
1 2 3 |
mkdir myhubot cd myhubot yo hubot |
And off it goes 😉 Now the possibilities are broader and for example starting with c# app or angular is as easy as discovering them here ( generators ) . Try it 🙂
