Yeoman generator

Getting Started

What is Generator Lean Mean?

After using generator-angular-fullstack, I searched for a generator that used Stylus and gulp.

I ended up even preferring the "modular" code organization pattern (link). I moved some folders around and ended up with a clean generator that uses:

The MEAN Stack

• MongoDB, leading NoSQL database;
• Express, for backend routing;
• AngularJS, the Superheroic MVW framework for Javascript;
• Node, the backend engine that runs on Javascript;

Plus these, for personal preferences

• gulp for building;
• Stylus, for styling;
• Coffeescript, for scripting (frontend and backend!);
• Jade, for templating;

The generator will also ask if you want to include

• Metro UI CSS, a great UI; OR
• Bootstrap, which doesn't need introduction; OR
• Angular Material, A great UI material design library for AngularJs
• FontAwesome, for even more icons;

And ask if you'd like to include a top Navbar

Setup

To install generator-lean-mean from npm, run:

$ npm install -g generator-lean-mean

Finally, initiate the generator:

$ yo lean-mean

Subgenerators

front-module

$ yo lean-mean:front-module

Creates an Angular view and controller, and optionally adds it to the Navbar.

Cons

• No unit testing. Sorry. Please add those, if you want to.

To Do

Many more subgenerators. This is just a first commit
