Generate a Project
Purpose
To demonstrate how to generate a Cubbles project using the generator-cubbles.
Prerequisites
- Nodejs version 6.x and npm in version 3.x or 4.x is installed.
Grunt runs from every folder. To do that, start a bash or shell and type the following command:
> npm install -g yo grunt-cli
The generator-cubbles is installed. You can install it as any other npm module:
> npm install -g generator-cubbles
Generate a Project
Within a Cubbles project you will have access to the Coder DevTools and thus you will be able to create and manage as many Webpackages as you want.
To generate a project, in the shell, navigate to the folder where want to store your project and run the following command:
> yo cubbles:project
In the bash you will get:
_-----_ | | |--(o)--| ╭──────────────────────────╮ `---------´ │ Done │ ( _´U`_ ) ╰──────────────────────────╯ /___A___\ / | ~ | __'.___.'__ ´ ` |° ´ Y ` Note: Within the 'devtools' folder, type 'grunt' to get a list of the most important tasks. Now I'm running grunt the first time:
Then, you should type the project name, e.g. my-first-project.
This process creates the overall file and folder structure inside to use the DevTools a follows:
The project includes a suite of developer-tools. This requires the download of a number of npm packages ... which takes some time .
