Pre-requisites

Install Yeoman Install Helm

• Required to run unit tests

npm install -g yo

Installation

npm install -g generator-ibm-cloud-enablement

Usage

yo ibm-cloud-enablement

Following command line arguments are supported:

• --bluemix {stringified-json} - used by Scaffolder to supply project information from pman. You can also supply a local file containing compatible JSON object by using --bluemix file:path/to/file.json. Other options include --bluemix='{"name":"<project-name>","backendPlatform":"<platform>"}'
• --services {stringified-array} - used to add an extra service container for docker-compose.
• --nodeCFMinMemory - used to defined a minimum requirement for node CF deployment. (e.g 384M)

Note: Adding the --services option will generate and use docker-compose and docker-compose-tools for docker containers.

Artifacts

Here is a list of the files and folders you receive after executing the generator:

File	Purpose
Dockerfile	Configuration file for the run container.
docker-compose.yml	Configuration for the run container if services option is added
Dockerfile-tools	Configuration file for the tools container
docker-compose-tools.yml	Configuration file for the tool container, if services option is added
Jenkinsfile	Groovy script used in conjunction with deploying to Cloud Foundry
chart/*	Folder containing all the Helm yaml files required to deploy to Kubernetes
cli-config.yml	Yaml file containing mappings for various commands, files, and settings, utilized by the cli commands
manifest.yml	Yaml file with configuration to deploy to Cloud Foundry

Development Environment

Clone this repository and link it via npm

git clone https://github.com/ibm-developer/generator-ibm-cloud-enablement
cd generator-ibm-cloud-enablement
npm link

In a separate directory invoke the generator via

yo ibm-cloud-enablement

Make sure to follow the conventional commit specification before contributing. To help you with commit a commit template is provide. Run config.sh to initialize the commit template to your .git/config or use commitizen

Once you are finished with your changes, run npm test to make sure all tests pass.

Do a pull request against master, make sure the build passes. A team member will review and merge your pull request. Once merged to master an auto generated pull request will be created against master to update the changelog. Make sure that the CHANGELOG.md and the package.json is correct before merging the pull request. After the auto generated pull request has been merged to master the version will be bumped and published to public npm.
