generator-flapjacks v1.0.0

generator-flapjacks

A generator for quickly spinning up Hapi-based, React-powered webapps

Updated to work with Babel 6!

About

The flapjacks generator, sadly, will not generate flapjacks for you. It will, however, create a framework for building really cool webapps built on top of Hapi and React.

I will freely admit my bias towards the back-end and beg forgiveness from those who are more geared towards the front-end with my attempt at creating a front-end template. If the front-end code in src/public makes you shudder, please feel free to drop a PR with the good stuff. Knowing that src/public was ... not great, I tried to build it so that front-ends could be dropped in without much overhead so please feel free to rm -rf src/public/* and have a go at it.

So mea culpa's aside, the back-end code is built on Hapi and follows fairly basic CRUD REST API best-practices.

Installation

First, install Yeoman and generator-flapjacks using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-flapjacks

Then generate your new project:

yo flapjacks

Sub-Generators

The flapjacks generator makes it possible to template just the components of the app.

yo flapjacks:public # <- creates the src/public folder

yo flapjacks:module # <- creates a route, handler, and controller

yo flapjacks:route # <- creates a new file in the src/routes folder

yo flapjacks:handler # <- creates a new file in the src/handlers folder

yo flapjacks:controller # <- creates a new file in the src/controllers folder

TODO

• Make the src/public base template better

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. Feel free to learn more about him.
