generator-wpd

quick start up to build modern webapp.

wpd means Web Product Develop;

Getting Started

Make sure you have installed Node.js because all tools are based on nodejs to work out. If not ,visit http://nodejs.org/download/ ,and find out the right version installer accorded with your OS. Install it step by step.

Assumed that you have Node.js > v0.9.0, some npm packages are also needed.
First, you'll need to install yo and other required tools.

$ npm install -g yo

If you are using npm 1.2.10 or above, this will also automatically install grunt and bower for you. If you're on an older version of npm, you will need to install them manually:

# For npm versions < 1.2.10.
npm install -g grunt-cli bower

what is generator-wpd

Generator-wpd is a project generator for wpd group aimed to quickly set up a new webapp project develop enviroment including css framework, css validation, html scaffolding ,JS util, AMD or CMD modular, UI library, grunt tasks, delopy tools etc.
Generator-wpd includes four sub modules by now.

• mobile-basic
• mobile-appjs
• mobile (coming soon)
• desktop-basic
• desktop (coming soon)

To install generator-wpd from npm, run:

$ npm install -g generator-wpd

Finally, initiate the generator in some directory your project resides (by now desktop-basic and mobile-basic are available):

$ yo wpd:mobile-basic # yo wpd:desktop-basic

And now, you enter into the app directory to start coding. That is fast and esay.

The last keyboard hits are grunt rundemo ,and you will see the demo,ENJOY!
