Yeoman Generator for »Baumeister«

Using this generator will give you a solid base for your project in a matter of minutes. No matter if it’s a static website or a single page application.

Baumeister is here to help you to build your things by providing:

• a file structure with focus on maintainability and upgradability
• a build setup based on webpack and npm scripts with the following »features« - generate static sites with ease using handlebars templates (optional) - transpile, bundle and minify your code (ES6 as well as Sass) - visualize size of bundled files with an interactive zoomable treemap - remove console output and debugger statements in production files - add vendor prefixes - lint JavaScript, Sass and HTML - optimize images (lossless) - start a local server - delete unused CSS (optional) - check for known vulnerabilities in dependencies - release new versions - run unit tests and create coverage reports - and more.

Please check the epic README of »Baumeister« to get detailed information about what it’s all about.

Features of this generator

There are tons of options for now :scream:
… but don’t be afraid – most of them are optional and you probably won’t see them all because some are dependent on others. Plus the ones that probably don’t change from one project to another are stored for your convenience.

Frequent users, who are tired of being asked the same questions over again might like to use a config file called .yo-rc.json described here.

Quick install guide

For those already using Yeoman.

npm install -g generator-baumeister
yo baumeister

Dependencies

• Node.js (>=6.0.0)
• Globally installed Yeoman CLI

See detailed installation instructions over here if you are new to this.

Getting Started

What is Yeoman?

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 onto your hard drive. Make sure you clean up, he likes new and shiny things.

npm install -g yo

Yeoman Generators

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-baumeister from npm, run:

npm install -g generator-baumeister

Finally, initiate the generator:

yo baumeister

Options via command line flags

--skip-cache

Do not remember prompt answers for next run of the generator

Default: false

yo baumeister --skip-cache

--skip-install

Do not automatically install dependencies

Default: false

yo baumeister --skip-install

--yo-rc

Read and apply options from .yo-rc.json and skip prompting

Default: false

yo baumeister --yo-rc

You could place a .yo-rc.json in the directory you are going to run the generator or in any parent directory up to your user directory (~/.yo-rc.json)

This file should contain the options which are otherwise prompted by Yeoman. See the follwoing example .yo-rc.json:

Getting To Know Yeoman

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.
