yeoman-bootstrap

yeoman-bootstrap

This is a yeoman generator that scaffolds out a project using Twitter Bootstrap by default, expanding on yeoman's quickstart generator. This generator will install Twitter Bootstrap, jQuery, Backbone.js, Underscore.js, and Require.js.

Installation

You can install this generator globally via npm:

[sudo] npm install -g yeoman-bootstrap

I have only tested this on Mac OS X, but it should work in Windows and other *nix environments. During a global npm install, the generator will get installed in your global node_modules directory, while a symlink to the foundation generator will be created in your global yeoman generators directory:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/yeoman/node_modules/yeoman-generators/lib/generators/bootstrap-less/

Usage

After copying to your global generator location, use:

yeoman init bootstrap-less

to generate the basic scaffolding for a bootstrap based project.

This generator provides a scaffold that uses require.js to load javascript modules. After generating the project scaffolding a node child_process will run to install jQuery, Backbone, and Require.js along with any dependencies. This child process is running yeoman install jquery backbone requirejs require-jade --save so you don't have to after.

Note: There is a bug in Yeoman 0.9.6 that is preventing the --save argument from adding files to component.json. If you would like your components saved in there, run: bower install jquery backbone requirejs require-jade --save to add them.

Uninstall

You can uninstall this generator via npm:

[sudo] npm uninstall -g yeoman-bootstrap

This will remove the symlink in your global yeoman generators directory and then proceed to delete the package.
