/chefdk_generator_cookbook

A cookbook for generator other cookbooks. Used with ChefDK

Primary LanguageRuby

ChefDK Code Generator

This is a code-generator to be used with the chef generate command. ChefDK allows you to supply your own generator cookbook. I found that the stock generator was missing alot of things I added to each of my cookbooks, so I decided to roll my own.

Credit for initial figuring out how to do this goes to http://blog.dnsimple.com/2014/07/chef-at-dnsimple/

Usage

Check this repo out to your cookbooks directory NOTE you MUST check out the repo to a directory called code_generator. Any other name won't work.

Change directories into your cookbook directory and run something like this:

chef generate cookbook --generator-cookbook ./
