Install

npm install --global yo generator-zen

Usage

yo zen

I designed zen to ask only essential questions, so questions about you and and your preferences are remembered by zen on initial run. Afterwards zen asks questions about each module in particular.

Also you can can --skip/-s all questions or force zen to ask --all/-a questions.

Speed up dependencies installing with --perfomant/-p option, it uses pnpm, so ensure you have pnpm installed globally ($ npm i -g pnpm).

$ yo zen -h
Usage:
  yo zen [<name>] [options]

Options:
  -h,   --help          # Print the generator's options and usage

        --skip-install  # Do not automatically install dependencies                                                          Default: false

  -y,   --yes           # Same as `--skip`                                                                                   Default: false

  2. Enable your project on travis: https://travis-ci.org/profile/
  3. Enable your project on coveralls: https://coveralls.io/repos/new
  4. Enable your project on appveyor: https://ci.appveyor.com/projects/new
  5. Write some tests in tests.js
  6. Run tdd mode: npm run tdd
  7. Write your module to pass the tests
  8. When all tests are green bump major version and publish it:
