This project is the core behaviour for seed-bank projects.
Note that this project uses a few conventions in order to operate. They are:
- is required in the root folder of whereever the command line is envoked. However, no structure is required. In short, developers will write there own configuration for their generators.
- genesis-templates.json is required in the directory OF THE GENERATOR CREATED. This means, when you create a generator, each module will have this file as well as all the files associated with it.
- Within genesis-templates.json files that are prefixed with the '' are assumed to be templates. Note that this is not enforced but is just a convention I like. In this case, this lib will remove the '' char so that, for example, 'README.md' becomes 'README.md'. Note that you can override this with the override command. For example, the following will retain the '' char.
{"name": "_README.md", "override": "_README.md"}
- This lib will run all files as if they are templates. This may not always have desire affect. In cases where you would rather copy a file and apply no templating, the 'copy' command can be used.
{"name": "_README.md", "copy": true}
Note that in the above scenario, the '_README.md' file will be renamed to the 'README.md' file. If you want the prefix retained, simply combine the command from #3:
{"name": "_README.md", "override": "_README.md", "copy": true}
The easiest way to use this lib is to simply install the generator-genesis-seed Yeoman generator. The generator-genesis-seed simplifies the effort of creating a Yeoman generator.
