generator-startjs

A generator for Yeoman.

Getting Started

What is Yeoman?

Yeoman is a tool that lives in your computer, and waits for you to tell him what kind of application you wish to create.

Not every new computer comes with a Yeoman pre-installed. He lives in the npm package repository. You only have to ask for him once, then he packs up and moves into your hard drive. Make sure you clean up, he likes new and shiny things.

$ npm install -g yo

Yeoman Generators

Yeoman travels light. He didn't pack any generators when he moved in. You can think of a generator like a plug-in. You get to choose what type of application you wish to create, such as a Backbone application or even a Chrome extension.

To install generator-startjs from npm, run:

$ npm install -g generator-startjs

Finally, initiate the generator:

$ yo startjs

Run grunt

$ grunt

If you get an error, manually do a bower install and npm install before running grunt

$ bower install
$ npm install
$ grunt

And now you are ready to go.

Getting To Know Yeoman

Yeoman has a heart of gold. He's a person with feelings and opinions, but he's very easy to work with. If you think he's too opinionated, he can be easily convinced.
