Feature Request: create/run sub-generators

[warang580]

I was reading Yeoman documentation and I saw this :

Generators scaffolding complex frameworks are likely to provide additional generators to scaffold smaller parts of a project. These generators are usually referred to as sub-generators, and are accessed as generator:sub-generator.

Take generator-angular as an example. Once the full angular app has been generated, other features can be added. To add a new controller to the project, run the controller sub-generator:

$ yo angular:controller MyNewController

Is it possible in Stimpak to make and run "sub-generators" ? Or something that would behave in a similar manner ?

Combine Generators

You can .use() any other stimpak generator in your own generator, and it will seamlessly integrate all of it's features with your own:

import StimpakNpm from "stimpak-npm";
import StimpakTestDriven from "stimpak-test-driven";

export default class MyGenerator {
    setup(stimpak) {
        stimpak.use(
            StimpakNpm,
            StimpakTestDriven
        )
        .then(this.showAnswers);
    }

    showAnswers(stimpak) {
        stimpak.answers(); // All answers from stimpak-npm and stimpak-test-driven
    }
}

You can also combine generators on-the-fly via the cli:

$ npm install stimpak-npm stimpak-test-driven -g --production

...

$ stimpak npm test-driven

Let me know if this is the same as what you were thinking

This has the latest docs: https://github.com/FreeAllMedia/stimpak/tree/feature/readme

I'm currently working on: https://github.com/FreeAllMedia/stimpak/blob/feature/readme/GENERATORS.md

So if there's anything I can elaborate on in this guide, please let me know.

Re-open if this is still an issue.
