workplus cli

A simple CLI for scaffolding starter projects.

Installation

Prerequisites: Node.js (>=6.x preferred) and Git.

[sudo] npm install -g workplus-cli

Usage

1. Create a new project

$ workplus start <template-name> <project-name>

Example:

$ workplus start webpack-framework7 my-project

The above command pulls the template from workplus-templates/webpack-framework7, prompts for some information, and generates the project at ./my-project/.

2. Templates list

$ workplus list

All official project templates are repos in the workplus-templates organization. When a new template is added to the organization, you will be able to run workplus start to use that template. You can also run workplus list to see all available official templates.

Current available templates include:

• demo7 A framework7 project use for creating prototype demo rapidly.
• webpack-framework7 A starter project for using Framework7 with Webpack via Babel!
• webpack-vue Webpack VueJs template.
• gulp-angular Angular starter project using gulp.

3. Start a 'http-server' local static server

$ workplus server

workplus server base on 'http-server', http-server is a simple, zero-configuration command-line http server. It is powerful enough for production usage, but it's simple and hackable enough to be used for testing, local development, and learning.

Available Options:

• -p Port to use (defaults to 8080)
• -a Address to use (defaults to 0.0.0.0)
• -P or --proxy Proxies all requests which can't be resolved locally to the given url. e.g.: -P http://someurl.com

Writing Custom Template

A template repo must have a template directory that holds the template files, and may have a metadata file for the template which can be a template.json file.
