generator-torso-brec

Yeoman can scaffold out a new application using prebuilt generators. This generator sets up a project using backbone-torso (a backbone-based framework) and brec (beautiful, responsive, ergonomic, and configurable) styling and plugins.

Install yoeman

> npm install -g yo

Install generator-torso-brec

> npm install -g generator-torso-brec

Create a new project

> cd path/to/project
> yo torso-brec

In your current directory, the generator will produce the following files:

├─ .gitignore
├─ package.json
├─ gulpfile.js
├─ dist
└─ app
    ├─ app.scss
    ├─ app.js
    ├─ router.js
    ├─ index.html
    └─ home
        ├─ homeView.js
        ├─ home-template.hbs
        └─ _home.scss

Pod Generator

When creating an application, generating a new feature typically requires creating a view, template for that view, and sometimes special styling for that view as well. Pods are directories filled with these feature-specific files. Use the pod sub generator to rapidly create a pod pre-filled with a view, template, and scss file.

Create a new pod

> cd path/to/project/app
> yo torso-brec:pod foo

This will create the following files:

└─ foo
   ├─ fooView.js
   ├─ foo-template.hbs
   └─ _foo.scss

If an app.scss file exists, it will add: @import 'foo/foo'; to that file
