NodeJS+Express+TypeScript yeoman generator

generator-express-typescript

Yeoman generator for express.js projects written in TypeScript.

FORK DEPRECATED

• I decided to create a new package located here on Github and npm

What's in the box

This generator creates project with some fancy tools onboard:

1. Express.js - simple nodejs web framework
2. TypeScript - strongly-typed version of ES6
3. tsd - tool for managing TypeScript definitions for JS libraries
4. grunt or gulp - build tool
5. Dockerfile - to run your project as a Docker container (optional)

Getting Started

First, install yeoman (if you haven't already)

$ npm install -g yo

Clone down this repo as this is not on npm (yet) and run npm install in the repo.

Finally, initiate the generator by reference where you cloned this and answer some simple questions:

$ yo ../generator-express-typescript/generators/app/index.js

Notice, that you should have either grunt or gulp installed globally before launching this generator
