Overview

This generator will create a basic scaffolding of a generic UMD library.

It will come with :

• changelog generator (conventional-changelog)
• linting (eslint)
• formatting (jscs)
• testing (mocha + expect.js)
• building (uglify-js + umd)

The generator will even reserve its name on npm's registery if you whish to, thanks to npmreserve.

Install

To install generator-libstart from npm, run:

npm install -g yo generator-libstart

Finally, initiate the generator:

yo libstart

Usage

To generate your new library simply run :

yo libstart <name of your creation>

Answer to some questions and you're good to go.

You'll be able to reserve your library's name into npm's registry if you whish to.

In your new library, you'll have some scripts available to automate your development.

Npm Scripts

npm preversion (auto)

Is run automatically before npm bump and runs npm build.

npm postversion (auto)

Is run automatically after npm bump and will synchronize bower.json with package.js's new version, and will generate the changelog.

npm build (manual)

It runs test, that is hooked with everything else.

npm pretest (auto)

Is run automatically before npm test and will umdify and uglify the library.

npm test (manual)

Tests.

npm postest (auto)

Is run automatically after npm test and controls formatting and linting.

Custom Scripts

They are all run by the previous npm scripts but you can run them at your convenience.

npm run-script format

Test the formatting with JSCS

npm run-script lint

Lint with ESLint

npm run-script umd

UMDify your library

npm run-script changelog

Generate a changelog for your library based on your commits if you've followed one of the supported convention. And will commit the changes automatically.
