generator-atomic

This Yeoman generator scaffolds an atomic-design templating framework based on the markup language Pug. It comes bundled with BabelJS for ES6 support, Twitter Bootstrap, LESS or SCSS, ESLint and a build-in Livereload Server. Several Subgenerators (atom, molecule, organism...) help you during your project to quickly add new modules and link them properly. Grunt helps you to automate your workflow with several helpful tasks like "build", "release" and "serve" (default). For automated Layout-testing you can use the Galen Framework.

Installation

Install Yeoman

npm install -g yo

Install generator-atomic

To install generator-atomic from npm, run:

npm install -g generator-atomic

Usage

yo atomic

To generate modules use following commands in your project folder:

yo atomic:atom

yo atomic:molecule

yo atomic:organism

yo atomic:template

yo atomic:page

Grunt Workflow

grunt default

Runs grunt serve.

grunt serve

Start a development server that watches files and livereloads on changes. Subtarget: grunt serve:dist: Serve a production Build.

grunt build

Build the (optimized for production) code into /dist.

grunt test

Build, Serve and run Layout-Tests with Galen.

grunt release

Create a Release of the Project (bump and tag).

Tasks	Description
grunt release:patch	Create a patch release of the Project.
grunt release:minor	Create a minor release of the Project.
grunt release:mayor	Create a mayor release of the Project.

Module Directory Layout

Each Module (atom, molecule, organism...) has this Directory Layout:

|   |   ├── index.pug                  # Module Overview Page
|   |   └── □ breadcrumb                  
|   |       ├── breadcrumb.pug         # Demo: showcase the Module in all available versions
|   |       ├── _breadcrumb.pug        # Markup: Pug Mixins (with _underscore)
|   |       ├── breadcrumb.js           # Script: ES2015 through BabelJS (not in atoms, templates and pages)
|   |       ├── breadcrumb.unit.js      # Unit-Test: Karma/Jasmine Unit Test
|   |       ├── breadcrumb.scss         # Stylesheet
|   |       ├── breadcrumb.spec         # Test: Galen Specfile for Layout Tests
|   |       └── breadcrumb.yaml         # Content Model for this module

Optional Navigation

While initiating your project you can choose a toggleable navigation to navigate convenient through your atomic patterns.

Customize the brand logo in the navigation

Per default the nexum logo is shown in the navigation but you can add a your own logo path in the basics.yaml.

├── □ app                                   
|   ├── □ 0_basics                        
        └── basics.yaml                   # Content YAML

Note for Windows-Users:

Windows Users with npm3/node5 should use the Microsoft PowerShell. The Standard-Shell has Problems with the prompts.
