Install

Install as a devDependency with npm:

$ npm install --save-dev generate-collections

Usage

Use as a plugin, to initialize commonly used view collections (no views are actually added to the collections).

module.exports = function(app) {
  app.use(require('generate-collections'));
  // do other generator stuff
};

Collections created

Adds the following view collections to your generator:

Renderable

Templates for files intended to be written to the file system.

  • files

Example usage

app.files('templates/*.md');

Layouts

Templates to be used as layouts (for "wrapping" other templates or content):

  • layouts
app.layouts('templates/layouts/*.md');

Partials

Templates to be used as partials (for injecting into other templates)

  • includes
  • badges
  • docs
app.partials('templates/partials/*.md');

Smart plugin

This generator follows base "smart plugin" conventions, so it can be used as a plugin with any of the following libraries:

  • generate: in your local generator.js file or globally installed generate generator.
  • assemble: in your local assemblefile.js file or globally installed assemble generator.
  • update: in your local updatefile.js file or globally installed update generator.
  • verb: in your local verbfile.js file or globally installed verb generator.
