Yeoman generator

Trick question. It's not a thing. It's this guy:

Basically, he wears a top hat, lives in your computer, and waits for you to tell him what kind of application you wish to create.

Not every new computer comes with a Yeoman pre-installed. He lives in the npm package repository. You only have to ask for him once, then he packs up and moves into your hard drive. Make sure you clean up, he likes new and shiny things.

npm install -g yo

Yeoman travels light. He didn't pack any generators when he moved in. You can think of a generator like a plug-in. You get to choose what type of application you wish to create, such as a Backbone application or even a Chrome extension.

The Angular Require Fullstack generator comes to speed up the scaffolding of projects using both AngularJS and RequireJS alongside with some must-have tools/plugins like file revving, i18n, minification of images and files among others.

####Why do we need a generator at all? Well, unless you like spending time creating the basic structure for each project you start, setting up its configuration and the tools/plugins/frameworks you're going to use, you will agree that those tasks are terrible repetitive, tough, time-consuming and on top of that, they have a ROI tending to zero. Using a generator will simplify most of these tasks, and will get them done in seconds.

####Why to use this generator? We believe that both AngularJS and RequireJS are extremely useful when building up web applications, and we wanted to use both of them on all of the web projects we develop, but we couldn't find a generator that did these while providing support to file revving and i18n, which we think must be present in any decent web application. If this isn't enough for you to consider this generator, you might reconsider it if we tell you that it will provide you dependency lazy loading.

####Who built this generator? This generator was built by Monits. If you'd like to know more about Monits, go to Monits or check out our Blog

To install generator-angular-require-fullstack from npm, run:

npm install -g generator-angular-require-fullstack

Finally, initiate the generator:

yo angular-require-fullstack

It will guide you from there.

Also, you can create your own services/directives/controllers using our templates by doing:

yo angular-require-fullstack:whatiwant

Replace whatiwant with the word controller, service or directive as you need. The rest is straightforward.

Yeoman has a heart of gold. He's a person with feelings and opinions, but he's very easy to work with. If you think he's too opinionated, he can be easily convinced.
