Yeoman Generator for Mortar.js Projects

Mortar.js is an open source framework built with React that makes interacting and updating data quick, easy, and powerful. It can best be described as an Admin User Interface that allows developers to quickly and safely build sites to interface with an API without accessing the database directly.

This generator makes it extremely easy to begin a React & Mortar project by taking care of the directory structure, installing dependencies, and the build process. The end result will allow you to build using React, JSX, ES6, and — of course — Mortar.

Installation

1. Run npm install -g generator-mortar to install the generator.
2. Run yo mortar to start the generator.
3. Follow the command line prompts. You will have the option to include authentication if your application & API requires it.

5. Scaffolding is done! Start the development server with npm run open !

Development

1. Clone this repository.
2. Run npm install to install generator dev dependencies.
