Generators

You can see a list of possible generators by typing: yo --help. In this case you will receive the following list - alongside other generators:

log-marionette
    behavior
    collection
    collectionview
    composite-template
    compositeview
    controller
    itemview
    layoutview
    model
    region
    router
    template

Bear in mind, composite-template IS NOT supposed to be used. It is only used internally by compositeview.

You can see each sub-generator and its options by typing: yo log-marionette:[generator] --help. E.g.: by typing yo log-marionette:compositeview --help it will return:

Usage:
  yo log-marionette:compositeview [options] <name>

Options:
  -h,   --help        # Print the generator's options and usage
        --skip-cache  # Do not remember prompt answers                               Default: false
        --all         # should also create its corresponding template and itemviews

Arguments:
  name    Type: String  Required: true

A few points on naming conventions; when generating a model or a collection, the input name will be the file name, e.g.: yo log-marionette:model my-name will generate a my-name.js file with the following code:

(function () {
    'use strict';

    var Backbone = require('backbone');

    var MyName = Backbone.Model.extend({});

    module.exports = MyName;
})();

In all other cases a suffix will be added to the name file and the generated object, e.g.: yo log-marionette:behavior my-name will generate a my-name-behavior.js file with the following contents:

(function () {
    'use strict';

    var Marionette = require('backbone.marionette');

    var MyNameBehavior = Marionette.Behavior.extend({
        defaults: {
            /* your defaults */
        },

        events: {
            /* your events */
        }
    });

    module.exports = MyNameBehavior;
})();
