generator-easy-webapp

The Easy Webapp generator is a very simple Yeoman project generator that forgoes having a lot of the additional structure that comes with a lot of Yeoman generators and simply builds you a very basic webapp setup.

Getting Started

What is Yeoman?

Yeoman generator

Trick question. It's not a thing. It's this guy:

Basically, he wears a top hat, lives in your computer, and waits for you to tell him what kind of application you wish to create.

Not every new computer comes with a Yeoman pre-installed. He lives in the npm package repository. You only have to ask for him once, then he packs up and moves into your hard drive. Make sure you clean up, he likes new and shiny things.

$ npm install -g yo

Yeoman Generators

Yeoman travels light. He didn't pack any generators when he moved in. You can think of a generator like a plug-in. You get to choose what type of application you wish to create, such as a Backbone application or even a Chrome extension.

To install generator-easy-webapp from npm, run:

$ npm install -g generator-easy-webapp

Finally, initiate the generator:

$ yo easy-webapp
