generator-code

A Yeoman Generator for Visual Studio Code

Getting Started

To run Yeoman you will need to install node for your platform. The setup will also install the Node Package Manager (npm) which you use to download Yeoman, generators, and many other software packages.

It is recommended that you install Yeoman and generators globally using the npm -g switch so that you can run the generator from any folder.

npm install -g yo generator-code

Make a new directory and then cd into it.

mkdir myApp && cd $_

Run the Code generator:

yo code

Use the cursor up/down keys to choose the type of application you wish to create:

• Node/Express application (JavaScript): A simple Node application using the Express Framework. This application includes LESS style support, gulp for running tasks, as well as jsconfig.json and a set of TypeScript definition files for a great IntelliSense experience.

• Node/Express application (TypeScript): Similar to above application, only written in TypeScript, including gulp tasks to automatically compile your TypeScript to JavaScript.

We also recommend installing the TypeScript Definition File Manger tool globally so that you can use the tool to download TypeScript definitions in any folder.

After the generator runs, simply start Visual Studio Code and enjoy!
