Node Generator

generator-logoran-node creates a base template to start a new Node.js module.

It is also easily composed into your own generators so you can only target your efforts at your generator's specific features.

Install

$ npm install --global generator-logoran-node

Usage

$ yo node

Note that this template will generate files in the current directory, so be sure to change to a new directory first if you don't want to overwrite existing files.

That'll generate a project with all the common tools setup. This includes:

• Filled package.json file
• jest unit test and code coverage (optionally tracked on Coveralls)
• ESLint linting and code style checking
• nsp known vulnerability check
• Travis CI continuous integration (optional)
• License

Running tests

Once the project is scaffolded, inside the project folder run:

$ npm test

You can also directly use jest to run test on single files:

$ npm -g install jest-cli
$ jest --watch

Publishing your code

Once your tests are passing (ideally with a Travis CI green run), you might be ready to publish your code to npm. We recommend you using npm version to tag release correctly.

$ npm version major
$ git push --follow-tags
# ATTENTION: There is no turning back here.
$ npm publish

Extend this generator

First of all, make sure you're comfortable with Yeoman composability feature. Then in your own generator:

var Generator = require('yeoman-generator');

module.exports = class extends Generator({
  default() {
    this.composeWith(require.resolve('generator-logoran-node/generators/app'), {
      /* provide the options you want */
    });
  }
});

Options

Here's a list of our supported options:

• boilerplate (Boolean, default true) include or not the boilerplate files (lib/index.js, test/index.js).
• cli (Boolean, default false) include or not a lib/cli.js file.
• editorconfig (Boolean, default true) include or not a .editorconfig file.
• git (Boolean, default true) include or not the git files (.gitattributes, .gitignore).
• license (Boolean, default true) include or not a LICENSE file.
• travis (Boolean, default true) include or not a .travis.yml file.
• githubAccount (String) Account name for GitHub repo location.
• readme (String) content of the README.md file. Given this option, generator-logoran-node will still generate the title (with badges) and the license section.

Sub generators

If you don't need all the features provided by the main generator, you can still use a limited set of features by composing with our sub generators directly.

Remember you can see the options of each sub generators by running yo node:sub --help.

• node:boilerplate
• node:cli
• node:editorconfig
• node:eslint
• node:git
• node:nsp
• node:readme
