em

A command line scaffolding tool for Meteor applications. It automatically creates project structure, files and boilerplate code. The project structure mimics that of the EventedMind publishing platform.

Installation

Install the em command line tool globally so you can use it from any project directory.

$ npm install -g meteor-em

Pre-Reqs

You'll want to have Iron Router installed. Also, this command line tool just handles scaffolding for now. mrt and meteor are different command line tools. Hopefully, sometime in the near future we can enhance the meteor command line tool to be pluggable!

Usage

Just type em from the command line and you'll see the various top level commands. Then type em generate or em g to see a list of generators.

You can initialize your project structure like this:

$ em init

A config file will be generated in your project — .em/config.json, and you will be able to specify what types of files will be created for you when you generate a view resource. You can also specify alternative file extensions, e.g. .jade, .sass, and .coffee:

{
  "view": {
    "html": {
      "create": true,
      "extension": ".html"
    },
    "css": {
      "create": true,
      "extension": ".css"
    },
    "js": {
      "create": true,
      "extension": ".js"
    }
  }
}

Then you can generate various resources. Here are a few examples:

$ em g:scaffold todos
$ em g:view todos/todo_item
$ em g:controller webhooks/stripe --where "server"
$ em g:route todos/todo_show
