Custom a boilerplate

We use npm package to manager boilerplate, you can follow this steps:

• Create a new repo like egg-boilerplate-plugin

• Put all files under boilerplate dir

• Use egg-init --template=PATH to check

• index.js can define variables which can be useed on template, like {{name}}, but \{{name}} will ignore.

  module.exports = {
    name: {
      desc: 'package-name',
    },
    pluginName: {
      desc: 'plugin-name',
      default(vars) {
        return vars.name;
      },
      filter(v) {
        return 'egg-' + v;
      },
    },
    description: {
      desc: 'my best plugin',
    },
    author: {
      desc: 'author',
      default: 'eggjs team'
    },
  };

• Write unit test, see npm scripts at egg-boilerplate-simple

• Add your package name to egg-init-config's package.json config.boilerplate property
