An ES6 project generator for Yeoman. Provides tooling for libraries that use the ES6 module transpiler and a compatible folder structure. Traceur support is baked in as an optional add-on.
Note: this project has not yet been released. Don't use it!
Trick question. It's not a thing. It's this guy:
Basically, he wears a top hat, lives in your computer, and waits for you to tell him what kind of application you wish to create.
Not every new computer comes with a Yeoman pre-installed. He lives in the npm package repository. You only have to ask for him once, then he packs up and moves into your hard drive. Make sure you clean up, he likes new and shiny things.
$ npm install -g yo
Yeoman travels light. He didn't pack any generators when he moved in. You can think of a generator like a plug-in. You get to choose what type of application you wish to create, such as a Backbone application or even a Chrome extension.
To install generator-es6 from npm, run:
$ npm install -g generator-es6
Finally, initiate the generator:
$ yo es6
grunt build

- Run QUnit tests on the command-line.grunt server
- Runs a server from the server's root. Navigate to localhost:8000/test/
to run tests in the browser. Also auto-rebuilds the project when a file is changed.Yeoman has a heart of gold. He's a person with feelings and opinions, but he's very easy to work with. If you think he's too opinionated, he can be easily convinced.
