KJSS: Yeoman JavaScript Skeleton Generator

Yeoman generator generates JavaScript Skeletons for simple JS modules Enables you to use a consistent JS module format in your projects (KJSS stands for KJSS JavaScript Skeleton)

Get started

npm install -g generator-kjss

What it does

The KJSS JavaScript Skeleton (KJSS) generator generates JavaScript skeletons for JavaScript modules. There are two types of modules:

• DOM manipulating modules ("UI module") (Registered as jQuery Plugins)
• "JavaScript only" modules ("Abstract module")

The generated skeletons provide a basic module structure which you will extend with business logic as needed.

How to use

• Go to wherever you wan't to create a new JavaScript module
• Generate skeleton

yo kjss

• Answer the questions:
• Will your module interact with a DOM element? If you say yes, a "UI module" skeleton will be generated
• What's the name of your module?
• Do you need the UI module wrapper file? This has to be included only once per project. If your project already contains one, you don't need it again.

Add to your project

• Add jQuery to your project
• If it's an UI module: add the UI module wrapper file
• Add your business logic to the skeleton
• Add the module (filename = .js)
• That's it!

The KJSS generator was originally designed for a project @ develop4edu GmbH. The basic module style is based on concepts from jQuery Plugin Patterns.
