What's Yeoman?
Yeoman helps you to kickstart new projects, prescribing best practices and tools to help you stay productive.
To do so, we provide a generator ecosystem. A generator is basically a plugin that can be run with the yo command to scaffold complete projects or useful parts.
Usage
1# install yo 2npm install --global yo 3 4# install a generator 5npm install --global generator-webapp 6 7# run it 8yo webapp
To create and distribute your own generator, refer to our official documentation
You can also run a local generator on your computer as such:
1# Running a local generator 2yo ./path/to/local/generator
Options
--no-color- Disable colors.--version- Print the currentyoversion.--help- Printyohelp menu with the list of found generators.--generators- Print available generators.--local-only- Disable lookup of globally-installed generators.
Troubleshooting
Running yo doctor command can help you troubleshoot common issues.
If doctor doesn't help, then check opened issues for a similar problem. Open a new issue if your problem haven't been reported yet. Make sure to always include the version of yo (yo --version) and Node.js (node --version) you use.
If your issue only occurs using a generator, please report the issues on the generator's repository.
