appverse-generator-commons

This is a Yeoman Base Generator for Appverse Generators

The appverse-generator-commons provides some helper methods to use with Appverse generators.

Usage

The Appverse Generator Commons extends the Yeoman Base generator adding some helpers methods.

Add dependency to your generator package.json

  npm install appverse-generator-commons

Extend your generator from the Appverse Generator Commons, then helper methods will be accessible within the this Yeoman context.

var appverse = require ('appverse-generator-commons');

 module.exports = appverse.extend({ //--> Inheritance
  initializing: function () {
     this.welcome (pkg);  //--> Appverse common helper method.
     this.checkVersion();  // --> Appverse common helper method.
  },
  prompting: function () {
  }
  });

Methods

welcome (pkg) - Outputs the welcome message with package information.

     this.welcome (require('../../package.json'));

The method will add the package information as a new object into the the this context. You can then use this.pkg to get the package.json as object.

checkVersion() - Notifies the user if there is a new published version of the generator.

info (msg) -- Outputs the message the info format (green).

  this.info ("here some information ... ");    

Output:

  [APPVERSE][INFO] :: here some information...

warning (msg) -- Outputs the message the warning format (yellow).

  this.warning ("here some warning information ... ");    

Output:

  [APPVERSE][WARNING] :: here some warning information...

error (msg) -- Outputs the message the error format (red).

  this.error ("error messages ... ");    

Output:

  [APPVERSE][ERROR] :: error messages ...

moveFiles(base,files) -- Move files to target path *base path - Base path where files are located *file list - Array with files path within the base bath

     var files = ['Gruntfile.js', 'bower.json'];
     //generators/app/templates/Gruntfile.js and generators/app/templates/bower.json
     this.moveFiles (this.templatePath(), files);

moveTemplates (base, templates) -- Fill and Move template list to target path. It uses this.templatePath() as base path.

     var templates = ['test/test1,js', 'test/test2.js'];
     //generators/app/templates/test/test1.js and generators/app/templates/test/test2.js
     this.moveTemplates (this.templatePath(), templates);

moveNamedTemplate(base, template,name,target) -- Move Named template. Templates files with $name variable and $target path variable.

     var template = '$target/$name.js';
     var name = 'test1';  
     var target = 'test';
     this.moveNamedTemplate(this.templatePath(),template, name, target);
     //will create /test/test1.js on at the destination folder.

moveNamedTemplates(base, templates, name, target) -- Move Named templates list.

     var templates= ['app/$target/$name-controller.js','app/$target/$name-module.js'];
     var name = 'myComponent';  
     var target = 'myComponent';
     this.moveNamedTemplates(this.templatePath(), template, name, target);
     //will create app/myComponent/myComponent-controller.js and app/myComponent/myComponent-model.js at the destination folder.

addPackage(packages, file, node) -- Add package to dependency manager (package.json or bower.json)

     var packages = [{name: "package", version: "0.0.1"}];
     this.addPackage(packages, "package.json", "devDependencies");

Result:
