Yeoman generator for Lenses components

Introduction

Lenses web components are built using the Polymer library. The project allows developers to retrieve, manipulate and visualize data by chaining these components together.

generator-lenses provides Lenses component scaffolding using Yeoman (a scaffolding tool for the web), letting you easily create and customize Lenses (custom) elements via the command-line and import them using HTML Imports. This saves you time writing boilerplate code so you can start writing up the logic to your components straight away.

Features

• Sub-generator to create Lenses elements for your app
• Quick deploy to GitHub pages

Installation

Install the generator npm install -g generator-lenses

Make a new directory and cd into it mkdir -p my-project && cd $_

Generate a new Lenses component: yo lenses:seed [element-name]

Generators

Available generators:

• lenses:lenses
• lenses:seed
• lenses:gh

Lenses

Generates the Lens Composer and the components that can be used with Lenses. Coming soon.

Seed

Generates a reusable Lenses element.

The seed-element generator will construct a new element and its directory for you. Be aware: all bower dependencies will be installed as siblings of the newly generated element. Make sure that you generate the seed element within a directory that is intended to contain multiple components!

Example:

mkdir -p components && cd $_
yo lenses:seed my-element

Gh

Generates a Github pages branch for your seed-element.

Example:

cd components/my-element
yo lenses:gh
