Yeoman is an open source client-side development stack, consisting of tools and frameworks intended to help developers quickly build high quality web applications.
Contents
Description
Yeoman runs as a command-line interface written for Node.js and which combines several functions into one place, including:
- Generating a starter template
- Managing dependencies
- Running unit tests
- Providing a local development server
- Optimizing production code for deployment
The most basic Yeoman generator supplies the HTML5 boilerplate, Normalize.css, the jQuery JavaScript library, and Modernizr as a basic template for developers.
Yeoman also runs interactively, asking the developer if they would like additional components such as [[Bootstrap (framework)] or RequireJS included.
More sophisticated generators exist, such as ones which scaffold out a client-side MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework, such as the AngularJS or Backbone.js JavaScript libraries.
Yeoman is meant to be modular such that anyone can design a generator to create a template for a particular type of project.
History
Yeoman was released at Google I/O 2012.
