generator-blueman

Getting Started

Overview

Yeoman generator for a basic Node.js app with Express.js created for a Bluemix environment. It uses the Gulp.js task runner to serve the app with a few optimizations based on this starter environment.

To use Bluemix, you'll need to first sign up for an account here.

Make sure you have Node installed as well at the Cloud Foundry CLI.

Installation

Then install Yeoman (our scaffolding tool):

npm install -g yo

To install generator-blueman from npm, run:

npm install -g generator-blueman

Finally, make the directory you want to create your app in, cd into it, and initiate the generator:

yo blueman

You now have a Bluemix-ready app!

Usage

Once the initial files are set up through Yeoman, run gulp to start the server and make edits. See the starter environment repo for more documentation on editing files.

Deployment

To deploy the app, use gulp deploy
