generator-lean-mean

Yeoman generator

Getting Started

What is Generator Lean Mean?

After using generator-angular-fullstack, I searched for a generator that used Stylus and gulp.

I ended up even preferring the "modular" code organization pattern (link). I moved some folders around and ended up with a clean generator that uses:

The MEAN Stack

• MongoDB, leading NoSQL database;
• Express, for backend routing;
• AngularJS, the Superheroic MVW framework for Javascript;
• Node, the backend engine that runs on Javascript;

Plus these, for personal preferences

• gulp for building;
• Stylus, for styling;
• Coffeescript, for scripting (frontend and backend!);
• Jade, for templating;

The generator will also ask if you want to include

• Metro UI CSS, a great UI; OR
• Bootstrap, which doesn't need introduction; OR
• Angular Material, A great UI material design library for AngularJs;
• FontAwesome, for even more icons;
• MongooseJS, elegant mongodb object modeling for node.js;

And ask if you'd like to include a top Navbar

Setup
