generator-cg-angular Abandoned?

Abandoned?

Open RomainLanz opened this issue 9 years ago • 7 comments

Hi @cgross,

I want to know if you have abandoned this project or not?

Cause you have answered to an issue 6 days ago but didn't commit, answer to PR, etc.

I think everyone here want an answer, and maybe you can redirect to this fork https://github.com/leanovate/generator-cc-angular if you don't want to continue to maintain this project.

@RomainLanz here is a detailed collection/comparison of options. If you know generator-cc-angular well, i warmly welcome you to do a questionnaire for it, by clicking here, so that its features can be included for everyone to see and compare. Choose Application Starters from the questionnaires list.

In my opinion, there are no real benefits of other generator(s). If you want new packages, simply update your json-file and that's it.

There are missing two important points: generator-cg-angular is a) simple and b) lightweight. I don't need tons of libraries to support authenticaton, database handling etc. Whenever I need such functionality, I can add it. Just my two cents :-)

May 27 '15 18:05 martin-s

Hi guys - this generator is definitely not abandoned. I planned to do a big overhaul at some point soon but of course life always intervenes. As @martin-s said, if you want newer version of some of the included libs, just download the updated versions using bower. It would be nice if the generator had the most versions of the libs by default (and when I do the update it will) but updating them after your project is generated is trivial.

I would like to participate in contributing for this generator, worked with it for over a year now and I love the concept, but there are still some things to be done :)

May 29 '15 12:05 eduardoinnorway

I love this for what it is. A mention of overhaul makes me a little nervous. I use the heck out of it as it does the job of quickly putting together an angular project, creating the base structure, linking the files for me and doing the final build. What the project does and how it does it, is out of scope. The only improvement that I think I could ask for it maybe make some of the already included things optional and make docs a little more clear on the best way to add what you want. (It took me a little bit to figure out how to add some things.)
