This package provides the create command for the mojito-cli tool, that you can install with: npm install -g mojito-cli
Archetypes are used to create skeletons for the different types of artifacts in a Mojito application. The skeletons only contain stripped down boilerplate code that is easier to create using the command-line tool rather than by hand.
To create a skeleton for a Mojito application:
mojito create app [<archetype-name>] <app-name>
This will create an empty application (i.e., one with no mojits) with the name provided. The application is created in a directory named <app-name> within the current directory. If no archetype name is provided, the default archetype is used.
From the application directory, use the following command to create a skeleton for a mojit:
mojito create mojit [<archetype-name>] <mojit-name>
This will create an empty mojit with the name provided. The command assumes it is being executed within an application directory. Thus, the mojit is created in a directory named <mojit-name> within the mojits subdirectory of the application directory. For example, the mojit MyMojit would be created in mojits/MyMojit.
As with application creation, if no archetype name is provided, the default archetype is used. Depending upon the archetype, the skeleton may include any or all of the following: controller, model, view, and binder
Mojito offers the following three archetypes for applications and mojits.
simple- The minimal configuration and code needed to run an application.default- This archetype is run if no command-line archetype option is specified. It is a happy medium between simple and full.full- Provides the most comprehensive configuration and code for applications.
You can copy the built-in archetypes and modify them to suit your work-flow, or create your own. Then you can specify the path to specific archetype, like so:
mojito create custom <path/to/archtype> <path/to/name>
If a file in the archetype source ends with .hb then the contents of the file will have key/value replacement done for the following:
{{port}}-> default port number 8666 or the value passed by option--port{{name}}-> the name passed as the last command line argument that is not a flag or option, like--port
You can also specify the option --keyval or -k to replace key/value pairs in a string.
For example, suppose you have the archetype directory ../menus that has the one file today.html.hb containing the Handlebars expressions {{dish}} and {{side}}. Running the command mojito create custom ../menus TodaysMenu -k dish:tilapia,side:macaroni would create the new directory TodaysMenu containing the file today.html (notice that the ".hb" extension is removed). In today.html, all occurrences of the strings {{dish}} and {{side}} would be replaced with tilapia and macaroni.
