For more information on what this generator can do for you, take a look at the gulp plugins used in our package.json.

libsass

Keep in mind that libsass is feature-wise not fully compatible with Ruby Sass. Check out this curated list of incompatibilities to find out which features are missing.

If your favorite feature is missing and you really need Ruby Sass, you can always switch to gulp-ruby-sass and update the styles task in gulpfile.js accordingly.

Getting Started

• Install dependencies: npm install --global yo bower
• Install the generator: npm install --global generator-scriptist
• Run yo gulp-webapp to scaffold your webapp
• Run gulp serve to preview and watch for changes
• Run bower install --save <package> to install frontend dependencies
• Run gulp to build your webapp for production
• Run gulp deploy to deploy to an FTP server (if you enabled it in the initial set-up)

Options

• --skip-welcome-message Skips Yeoman's greeting before displaying options.
