Wakanda Project Yeoman generator

About

Wakanda Server and WakandaDB integrate an HTTP server and a JavaScript engine on top of a fast NoSQL Object datastore to creates an unbeatable combination for accessing your relational data quickly with a strong business logic applied.

This unoficial Yeoman generator creates Wakanda projects and solutions you can then edit from any dev tools, and provides a Grunt serve task to launch them on Wakanda server.

How to install

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

To install generator-wakanda-project from npm, run:

npm install -g generator-wakanda-project

How to use

Project generator

This generator will create a project and a solution to run it To Initiate the generator, do:

yo wakanda-project [appName]

Serve Task

The "serve" thsk will launch the solution on the Wakanda Server and run the "open" task. To run it you'll do:

grunt serve

Note that the "serve" task flags are all sent to the "open" task it invokes. You can then do directly:

grunt serve --catalog

Open Task

The "open" will as expected open an URL in the browser that, from the generated Gruntfile.js will be selected to be "Google Chrome" (The goal is to be used in combination with "google-chrome-reload" and "watch"). This option is easy to change in Gruntfile.js.
