@plone/generator-volto

Yeoman Volto App Generator

@plone/generator-volto is a Yeoman generator that helps you to set up Volto via command line.

Installation

First, install Yeoman and @plone/generator-volto using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

$ npm install -g yo
$ npm install -g @plone/generator-volto

Usage

Create a new Volto project with:

$ yo @plone/volto

This will bootstrap a new Volto project inside the current folder. It will ask a few questions: project name, project description and a list of addons. Run:

$ yo @plone/volto --help

to see a full list of options and arguments.

You can use it in full non-interactive mode by passing something like:

yo @plone/volto myvoltoproject --no-interactive

Or by skipping specific configuration:

yo @plone/volto myvoltoproject --description "My Volto project" --skip-addons --skip-install --skip-workspaces

You can also specify addons to load, like:

yo @plone/volto myvoltoproject --description "My Volto project" --addon "volto-formbuilder:x,y" --addon "volto-slate:z,t"

Change the directory to your project to get started:

$ cd myvoltoproject
$ yarn

Start Volto with yarn start

Start Volto with:

$ yarn start

This runs the project in development mode. You can view your application at http://localhost:3000

The page will reload if you make edits.

Please note that you have to run a Plone backend as well.

E.g. with docker:

$ docker run -it --rm --name=plone -p 8080:8080 -e SITE=Plone -e ADDONS="kitconcept.volto" -e ZCML="kitconcept.volto.cors" -e PROFILES="kitconcept.volto:default-homepage" plone
