A Yeoman generator to create another of my learning repos.
Just one of the things I'm learning. https://github.com/hchiam/learning
Key files: index.js
and templates
folder
npm install -g generator-hchiam-learning
mkdir learning-something
cd learning-something
yo hchiam-learning
You might need to install Node.JS and Yeoman first: npm install -g yo
. After running yo hchiam-learning
, you should get something like this template repo: https://github.com/hchiam/learning-something
yo hchiam-learning:mini
Just use the searchbar: https://yeoman.io/generators

- https://github.com/christiannwamba/generator-scotchmean/blob/master/generators/app/index.js
git clone https://github.com/hchiam/generator-hchiam-learning.git
cd generator-hchiam-learning
npm install
# (customize code and files)
npm link
npm publish
cd ~/Desktop
mkdir learning-something
cd learning-something
yo hchiam-learning
npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-generator
mkdir generator-my-generator
cd generator-my-generator
yo generator
# (customize code and files)
npm link
npm publish
cd ~/Desktop
mkdir some-repo
cd some-repo
yo my-generator
(package.json setup only + yarn publish
):

You can avoid accidentally publishing to npm. This field is set by default in the generated package.json
:
"private": true
More info in the npm docs.

"scripts": {
"start": "open build/index.html",
"build": "babel src/index.js --out-file build/index.js; parcel build src/index.html --out-dir build --no-source-maps --no-cache; rm -rf dist; rm build/src.*.js",
"test": "jest --passWithNoTests",
"lint": "eslint src/*.js --max-warnings=0",
"fix": "eslint --fix src/*.js",
"fast": "nodemon -e js,html -w src -x 'npm run lint; npm run test; npm run build; npm run start;'"
},

}
Also consider using Cucumber Gherkin to connect "plain English" feature files to Cypress tests. Simple example: https://github.com/hchiam/learning-cypress/tree/master/cucumber#tutorial-to-try-out-combining-cucumberjs-and-cypress
You can update to the current version by running the global install command again: npm install -g generator-hchiam-learning
npm link
has the side-effect of creating a folder like this: /Users/<username>/.nvm/versions/node/v10.13.0/lib/node_modules/generator-hchiam-learning
(you might need to delete that folder if you get an error that references it when you try to run npm install -g generator-hchiam-learning
)
