Assemble or generator-assemble for an existing project?

[neo-art]

Hi,

I have an existing project built with yeoman-webapp (I also added bourbon/neat as a grid framework
+webplate ui kit) and I would like to use assemble as a static site generator.
Unfortunately I am not experienced with assemble at all so I was hopping you could share your
thoughts what would be the right way to do that:
1. to install assemble alone in a separate directory and after that to merge it with the
yeoman-webapp project;
or
2. to install generator-assemble directly in the yeoman-webapp root or some other folder
(i.e. app/)?

Thank you in advance :)

This is how my project structure looks like:

   app
    ├───│
    │ ├── favicon.ico
    │ ├── images
    │ │   ├
    │ ├── img
    │ │   └
    │ ├── index.html
    │ ├── robots.txt
    │ ├── sass
    │ │   └── main.scss
    │ ├── scripts
    │ │   └── main.js
    │ ├── styles
    │ │   ├── main.css
    │ │   └── main.css.map
    │ └── webplate
    │
   bower_components
    │
   dist
    │
   node_modules
    │
   test
    │
   bower.json
   Gruntfile.js
   package.json

I have extended yeoman-webapp to feature assemble in generator-pioneerapp, feel free to follow its logic or use directly. You can install it and scaffold to see how it works :)

Thank you for sharing the repo @ain

Hi, i have developed pg. That is a generator with assemble, Bourbon neat as option and many other features. Feel free and test it. http://prototype-generator.com/

Another way is to use a simple assemble folder in your app directory and add the assemble task. Do you have a git repo? Then i can help.

Hi @Sebastian-Fitzner ,

Thanks for the link. You did a great job with your generator.
I will surely give it a try. :)

Do you have a git repo?

Not yet but I will post here if I need any help.
Thank you once again. :)
