Getting Started with a Project

Install Yeoman

npm install -g yo

Install the BREI App Generator

npm install -g generator-brei-app

Finally, initiate the generator in an empty directory:

yo brei-app

From here you will be presented with a series of options. The options will differ depending on the contents of the directory.

What would you like to do? (Use arrow keys)
❯ Create a New Modern Project
  Create a New Pattern Library (Alpha)
  Create a Template
  Create an Organism
  Create a Molecule
  Create an Atom
  Create a Partial
  Create a Module

Just follow the prompts and off you go!

Dropbox

• Do not stage the project (run npm install or other dependency managers) from Dropbox. The dependency folders, especially node_modules, contain thousands of files and directories, and Dropbox can freeze the disk or cause permissions errors while it syncs.

Sub-Generators

All Sub-Generators install the properly formatted .hbs and .scss file according to BarkleyREI front-end coding standard conventions.

Note: you can either run yo brei-app and select the desired sub generator task, or you can use the following commands to do it manually.

Create a new Modern Project:

yo brei-app:new

Create a new Pattern Library Project:

yo brei-app:pattern

Create a new Template:

yo brei-app:template

Create a new Organism

yo brei-app:organism

Create a new Molecule

yo brei-app:partial

Create a new Atom

yo brei-app:partial

Create a new Partial (LEGACY)

yo brei-app:partial

Create a new Module (LEGACY)

yo brei-app:module

Testing the Generator

This only needs run if you are locally modifying the generator files in this repo, not a project created with it.

To Test:

npm test

The test takes about 3-4 minutes to run.
