Yeoman 'fountain' generator to start a webapp
:warning: Unmaintained
This project has been archived and is considered outdated and unmaintained.
With the massive rise of the CLI tools by each major JavaScript Web frameworks, it was become irrelevant to pursue the quest of being a competitive project scaffolder for modern Web project.
We officialy advise to use the coresponding CLI tools for the framework you use:
- create-react-app for React
- Vue CLI for Vue.js
- Angular CLI for Angular
Of course, we have some regrets regarding our users, Yeoman users and some goals we had with Fountain (like giving important tool choices to users, harmonizing projects configurations between frameworks...) but still, you can use official CLI tools with confidence as they are great project which went further for development experience and Web optimization.
Fountain Webapp Generator
This Yeoman generator allows you to start any Webapp with the best Developer Experience out of the box!
No matter what framework or module management you want to use, we got you covered with a cutting edge working configuration.
We use Gulp 4 as a task manager but we'll ask you questions about:
- Framework: React, Angular 2, Angular 1, Vue 2
- Modules management: Webpack, SystemJS, none
- JS preprocessor: Babel, TypeScript, none
- CSS preprocessor: Sass, Stylus, Less, none
This generator is the entry point of the Yeoman Fountain generators for webapps. It can be considered as the v2 of generator-gulp-angular.
Generator Fountain Webapp structure
To take profit of the best of the Yeoman infrastructure, we heavily relies on the composability natures of the generators.
Thereby, each needs of your future application will be addressed by a dedicated Yeoman generator (each will be used depending of the options you selected or not).
