Generator for a backbone-torso application
npm install generator-torso
Yeoman can scaffold out a new application using prebuilt generators. This generator sets up a project using backbone-torso (a backbone-based framework).
> npm install -g yo
`$3
`
> npm install -g generator-torso
`$3
`
> cd path/to/project
> yo torso
`The name of your project will be used as the name inside the generated package.json
In your current directory, the generator will produce the following files:
├─ .gitignore
├─ package.json
├─ gulpfile.js
├─ dist
└─ app
├─ app.scss
├─ main.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.
$3
`
> cd path/to/project/app
> yo torso:pod foo
`It will ask you if the view to be generated should be a singleton. You should answer yes if the view will only ever be instantiated once.
If you hit enter without answering or type "n" for no to the singleton question, it will generate the following files:
└─ foo
├─ FooView.js
├─ foo-template.hbs
└─ _foo.scss
If you answer 'y' for yes, it will instead produce the following files. The file containing the view is now lowercased to show that if you require this module, it will already be instantiated.
└─ foo
├─ fooView.js
├─ foo-template.hbs
└─ _foo.scss
Note: if an app.scss file exists (which it does by default), calling
`yo torso:pod foo`` will add: @import 'foo/foo'; to that file
