JSLib Generator

Yeoman generator that scaffolds a JS library.

• It creates a directory structure to organize your files:

    ├── src (the sources of your library)
    │   └── main.js (the main file of your library)
    │
    ├── build (all your scripts concatenated ready for distribution)
    │   └── lib-name.js
    │
    ├── deps (your non bower non npm library 3rd party dependencies)
    │
    ├── test (the code of your tests)
    │
    ├── doc (the API documentation)
    │
    ├── examples (your library examples)
    │
    ├── bower.json (front end dependencies)
    │
    ├── package.json (package publication and build system dependencies)
    │
    ├── .gitignore (files that git omits)
    │
    ├── editorconfig (coding style rules)
    │
    ├── .bowerrc (directory where bower installs dependencies)
    │
    └── .jshintrc (file for jshint to enfore coding style rules)

• It generates bower.json and package.json files for publication and dependedency management
• It uses gulp as build system
