Anansi (/əˈnɑːnsi/ ə-NAHN-see) is an Akan folktale character. He often takes the shape of a spider and is considered to be the god of all knowledge of stories. Anansi uses his knowledge to help JavaScript developers spin new web projects.
It's recommended to use @anansi/cli to use this generator.
npm install -g @anansi/cli yarn
Then generate your new project:
anansi hatch my-app-name
This creates a my-app-name directory in your current directory and sets up the project there.
Features can be incrementally adopted by running sub-generators from an existing project directory.
cd MyProject
anansi add testing
