@americanexpress/generator-one-app-module

yeoman generator for a bare-bones One App holocron Module

🤹‍ Usage

Assuming you have npx installed (comes with npm on versions 5.2.0 and above):

npx -p yo -p @americanexpress/generator-one-app-module -- yo @americanexpress/one-app-module

The generator will start up and prompt you with the following questions:

• What is the name of your module?
• Is this a root module or child module?
• Generate with Parrot Middleware?
• Setup with internationalization?

Optional Flags

--setupInternationalizationByDefault

If you'd like to include internationalization in your module without being prompted, you can pass in the --setupInternationalizationByDefault flag. Your command will look as follows:

yo @americanexpress/one-app-module --setupInternationalizationByDefault

Alternatively, if you choose to compose generator-one-app-module with another generator, you can pass the setupInternationalizationByDefault value in an object as the second argument to the Yeoman ComposeWith function, like so:

const CustomExtension = require.resolve('./path-to-custom-extension');

module.exports = class extends Generator {
  initializing() {
    this.composeWith(require.resolve('@americanexpress/generator-one-app-module/generators/app'), 
    { setupInternationalizationByDefault: true });
    this.composeWith(CustomExtension);
  }
};

Doing this, you're able to extend the generator-one-app-module generator, enable internationalization by default, and add additional prompts and logic in your custom extension.

🏆 Contributing

After making changes to the generator, test your changes locally:

• Install yeoman globally: npm install --global yo
• Link your local generator module so it is used instead of the repo version: npm link
• Switch to a temp directory and run: yo @americanexpress/one-app-module
• When you are done, unlink the local module : npm unlink
