update-yeoman-generator

Update your Yeoman generator with style

A script to help update repositories using Yeoman generators to the latest version.

Requirements

To use this package the generator should:

• Creates a .yo-rc.json storing the version of your application. It should follow the Yeoman storage specs.

// .yo-rc.json
{
  "generator-poi": {
    "version": "1.0.0"
  }
}

Setup

Private repositories

If you are using this project for private repositories, you'll need to create a token with the notifications and repo permissions. After generate your token, pass the information token using the flag --github-token in your command.

update-yeoman-generator --generator <github-user>/<github-repository> --github-token <your-github-token>

Run update-yeoman-generator

Make sure you have npm@>=5.2.0:

npm install -g npm@latest

Parameters

• -g, --generator [required] Name of the Github generator. It should be in format
  update-yeoman-generator --generator <github-user>/<github-repository>
• --version [optional] Show package version number
• --ejs-open [optional] [default: "<%"] .ejs File delimiter for open tag
• --ejs-close [optional] [default: "%>"] .ejs File delimiter for close tag.
• -t, --template [optional] [default: "app/templates"] String with a prefix for your templates folder based on the root folder of the generator repository.
• --github-token [optional] Github Token required for private repositories
• -h, --help [optional] Show help command

Inside the existing boilerplate generated repository run:

update-yeoman-generator

update-yeoman-generator will apply the changes from the latest version of boilerplate as a git style merge - so you'll still need to manually fix conflicts.
