JSON based scaffolding system
###Installation npm install -g bc-ignite
###Igniting your Project ignite scaffold {template-name}
###Listing Install Templates ignite list
###Describing templates ignite describe {template-name}
###Advanced usage can be found below
###Current Templates #####angular - Minimal baseline, leaving developer to decide folder structure based on type (i.e, Controllers, Directives, Services) or component (e.g., Home, Search, Admin) #####express - A seed structure for building robust express apps #####marionette - A folder structure for use with Marionette and Backbone.js, creates scripts directory. #####meteor - Standardized Meteor Application Template #####react - A Flux-Based template for building React Applications
###Want to Contribute a Template? Just fork the repo, add one, and submit a pull request.
Why do that instead of generators? Because with generator based solutions like Yeoman and Slush, everyone and their grandma has created generators. The plan for Ignite is to have community standardized templates so there's not 50 different angular scaffolds to choose from.
###Vision. The plan for Ignite is simple. I want a solution that doesn't scaffold a project for you, but instead scaffolds the structure of a project. Why? Because you'll be able to do things like this...
ignite scaffold rails
cd public
ignite scaffold angular
instead of...
ignite scaffold rails-angular
This allows you to scaffold only the pieces you need and hopefully will give you a solution more specific to your actual needs, instead of installing all the junk someone else thought they needed when they created the generator.
##Advanced Usage ###Using custom templates Ignite can be used with user-created templates as well. All you have to do is specify a folder on your file system and use the -d flag when calling the command.
Simply create the template in a directory
touch /path/to/my/templates/rails.json
Create the JSON appropriately, and then run
ignite scaffold rails -d /path/to/my/templates/
You can also create a environment variable
export IGNITE_DIR=/path/to/my/templates/
