Yeoman自动构建js项目

从零开始nodejs系列文章,将介绍如何利Javascript做为服务端脚本,通过Nodejs框架web开发。Nodejs框架是基于V8的引擎,是目前速度最快的Javascript引擎。chrome浏览器就基于V8,同时打开20-30个网页都很流畅。Nodejs标准的web开发框架Express,可以帮助我们迅速建立web站点,比起PHP的开发效率更高,而且学习曲线更低。非常适合小型网站,个性化网站,我们自己的Geek网站!!

前言
有一种技术可以提高我们的工作效率,可以让我们专心做我们擅长的事,可以屏蔽复杂性,可以规范我们的架构和我们的代码,可以让我们的享受编程的乐趣。Yeoman可以做到。

很多年以前,rails刚刚出世,伴随着一个新的名词“脚手架(scaffolding)”出现了。脚手架是一种提高开发效率的工具的代名词。随后,各种编程语言都开始实现自己的“脚手架”工具。Maven重新构造了Java的世界,改变了几千万的开发者对于Java项目构建的认识。Yeoman在Javascript领域正做着同样的事情。

看着各种工具,各种语言,都在飞跃式的进化。做为一个开发者,我每天都在为变化而惊喜!

  4. Yeoman工具包bower,grunt的组合用法

1. Yeoman介绍

Yeoman是Google的团队和外部贡献者团队合作开发的,他的目标是通过Grunt(一个用于开发任务自动化的命令行工具)和Bower(一个HTML、CSS、Javascript和图片等前端资源的包管理器)的包装为开发者创建一个易用的工作流。

Yeoman主要有三部分组成:yo(脚手架工具)、grunt(构建工具)、bower(包管理器)。这三个工具是分别独立开发的,但是需要配合使用,来实现我们高效的工作流模式。

2. Yeoman工具包yo命令

yo插件都是通过npm, Node.js包管理器安装和管理的.

我的系统环境

  • win7 64bit
  • Nodejs:v0.10.5
  • Npm:1.2.19
~ D:\workspace\javascript>node -v
v0.10.5

~ D:\workspace\javascript>npm -v
1.2.19

在系统中,我们已经安装好了Nodejs和npm。win7安装nodejs请参考文章:Nodejs开发框架Express3.0开发手记–从零开始

全局安装yo

~ D:\workspace\javascript>npm install -g yo

如果你还没有安装grunt,bower,也需要一起安装

~ D:\workspace\javascript>npm install -g grunt-cli bower

接下我们看一下yo命令行操作
1). 通过help查看帮助


~ D:\workspace\javascript>yo --help
Yeoman is a mask worn by the following members of the open-source community:

  Paul Irish, Addy Osmani, Mickael Daniel, Sindre Sorhus, Eric Bidelman,
  Frederick Ros, Brian Ford, Pascal Hartig, Stephen Sawchuk, and countless
  other contributors.

Usage: yo GENERATOR [args] [options]

General options:
  -h, --help     # Print generator's options and usage
  -f, --force    # Overwrite files that already exist

Please choose a generator below.
Angular
  angular:app
  angular:common
  angular:constant
  angular:controller
  angular:decorator
  angular:directive
  angular:factory
  angular:filter
  angular:main
  angular:provider
  angular:route
  angular:service
  angular:value
  angular:view

Karma
  karma:app

Mocha
  mocha:app
  mocha:generator

Webapp
  webapp:app

yo的命令很简单:yo GENERATOR,例如:yo webapp, yo angular
Please choose a generator below: 下面列出了我的系统中,已经安装的generator的库,例如:Angular,Karma,Mocha,Webapp

2). 查询yo的支持库

[?] What would you like to do? (Use arrow keys)
 > Install a generator
   Find some help
   Get me out of here!

命令行会提示,我们想要的操作。这里选择”Install a generator”


[?] What would you like to do? Install a generator
[?] Search NPM for generators:web

系统继续提示,我们要查找的包,我们输入web

3). 安装generator-webapp库

   generator-starter
   generator-starttter
   generator-ultimate
   generator-webapp
   generator-webapp-bfytw
   generator-webapp-fintan
   generator-weblog
   generator-website
   Search again
   Return home

yo列出了,所有在官方已经注册的,web关键字相关的包,我们选择“generator-webapp”

yo通过npm开始下载generator-webapp安装包


[?] What would you like to do? Install a generator
[?] Search NPM for generators: web
[?] Here's what I found. Install one? generator-webapp

generator-webapp@0.2.7 D:\toolkit\nodejs\node_modules\generator-webapp
├── cheerio@0.12.1 (entities@0.3.0, underscore@1.4.4, htmlparser2@3.1.4, cheerio-select@0.0.3)
└── yeoman-generator@0.12.3 (dargs@0.1.0, diff@1.0.5, debug@0.7.2, async@0.2.9, mime@1.2.11, mkdirp@0.3.5, isbinaryfi

I just installed your generator by running:
    npm install -g generator-webapp

然后,我们退出yo命令行,选择“Get me out of here!”

上面的退出的文字是开发者的名字,很有意思一点是,竖着看最中间一行的文字排列是,yeoman1.0,也就是yeoman这个项目的得名了。

4). 注:上面的过程,也可以直接用命令

npm install -g generator-webapp

3. Yeoman工具包yo – 快速构建一个web项目

当我们安装了generator-webapp后,我们就可以,以非常优雅的方式来构建工程了。

1). 创建nodejs-yo目录,并构建webapp工程


~ D:\workspace\javascript>mkdir nodejs-yo
~ D:\workspace\javascript>cd nodejs-yo
~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-yo>yo webapp

     _-----_
    |       |
    |--(o)--|   .--------------------------.
   `---------´  |    Welcome to Yeoman,    |
    ( _´U`_ )   |   ladies and gentlemen!  |
    /___A___\   '__________________________'
     |  ~  |
   __'.___.'__
 ´   `  |° ´ Y `

Out of the box I include HTML5 Boilerplate, jQuery and Modernizr.
[?] What more would you like?
  [ ] Twitter Bootstrap for Sass
 >[X] RequireJS
  [X] Autoprefixer for your CSS

对选项的解释:

  • Twitter Bootstrap for Sass:SASS是一种CSS的开发工具,提供了许多便利的写法,大大节省了设计者的时间,使得CSS的开发,变得简单和可维护。
  • RequireJS 可以帮助用户异步按需的加载 JavaScript 代码,并解决 JavaScript 模块间的依赖关系,提升了前端代码的整体质量和性能。
  • Autoprefixer解析CSS文件并且添加浏览器前缀到CSS规则里,使用Can I Use的数据来决定哪些前缀是需要的。

上面3个选择,由于Sass是基于Ruby的,我本机没有安装ruby,取消Twitter Bootstrap for Sass的勾选。

2). 查看安装日志:


Out of the box I include HTML5 Boilerplate, jQuery and Modernizr.
[?] What more would you like? RequireJS, Autoprefixer for your CSS
   create Gruntfile.js
   create package.json
   create .gitignore
   create .gitattributes
   create .bowerrc
   create bower.json
   create .jshintrc
   create .editorconfig
   create app/favicon.ico
   create app/404.html
   create app/robots.txt
   create app/.htaccess
   create app/styles/main.css
   create app/scripts/app.js
   create app/scripts/main.js
   create app/index.html
   create app/scripts/hello.coffee
   invoke   mocha:app
   create     test\index.html
   create     test\lib\chai.js
   create     test\lib\expect.js
   create     test\lib\mocha\mocha.css
   create     test\lib\mocha\mocha.js
   create     test\spec\test.js

I'm all done. Running bower install & npm install for you to install the required dependencies. If this fails, try running the command yourself.

项目骨架已经建好了。还包括了很多的配置文件.gitignore,bower.json,Gruntfile.js,favicon.ico, robots.txt, .htaccess。太神奇了,Cool!!

一下子装备都齐全了,打仗的事就交给我们自己吧。

4. Yeoman工具包bower,grunt的组合用法

有关bower的介绍,请参考:bower解决js的依赖管理
有关grunt的介绍,请参考:grunt让Nodejs规范起来

1). 使用bower命令查看项目依赖:


~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-yo>bower list
bower check-new     Checking for new versions of the project dependencies..
nodejs-yo#0.0.0 D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-yo
├── jquery#1.9.1 (latest is 2.0.3)
├── modernizr#2.6.2
└── requirejs#2.1.8

我们发现生成的webapp中,有4个依赖库,jquery,modernizr,requirejs。

2). 使用grunt命令执行单元测试


D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-yo>grunt test
Running "clean:server" (clean) task
Cleaning ".tmp"...OK

Running "concurrent:test" (concurrent) task

Running "copy:styles" (copy) task

Running "coffee:dist" (coffee) task

Running "autoprefixer:dist" (autoprefixer) task
File ".tmp/styles/main.css" created.

Running "connect:test" (connect) task
Starting connect web server on localhost:9000.

Running "mocha:all" (mocha) task
Testing: http://localhost:9000/index.html

  .

  1 test complete (107 ms)

>> 1 passed! (0.11s)

Done, without errors.

3). 使用grunt命令启动一个node服务器


~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-yo>grunt server
Running "server" task

Running "clean:server" (clean) task

Running "concurrent:server" (concurrent) task
    Warning: Running "compass:dist" (compass) task
Warning: You need to have Ruby and Compass installed and in your system PATH for this task to work. More info: https://g
ithub.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-compass Use --force to continue. Use --force to continue.

    Aborted due to warnings.

启动时,我们发现报错了。由于我没有装Ruby的环境,所以compass:dist的命令不能运行。

强制启动grunt


~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-yo>grunt server --force
D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-yo>grunt server --force
Running "server" task

Running "clean:server" (clean) task
Cleaning ".tmp"...OK

Running "concurrent:server" (concurrent) task

Running "coffee:dist" (coffee) task
    Warning: Running "compass:dist" (compass) task
Warning: You need to have Ruby and Compass installed and in your system PATH for this task to work. More info: https://
ithub.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-compass Use --force to continue. Used --force, continuing.

Running "compass:dist" (compass) task
Warning: You need to have Ruby and Compass installed and in your system PATH for this task to work. More info: https://
ithub.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-compass Use --force to continue.

Running "copy:styles" (copy) task

Running "autoprefixer:dist" (autoprefixer) task
File ".tmp/styles/main.css" created.

Running "connect:livereload" (connect) task
Starting connect web server on localhost:9000.

Running "open:server" (open) task

Running "watch" task
Waiting...

后台日志显示了“watch”的task,说明代码文件被监控着,如有修改网页会自动更新。

浏览器被自动打开,http://localhost:9000/
yeoman1

4). 修改app/index.html代码,增加对canvas的检查。


~ vi app/index.html

<script>
window.onload = function () {
if (canvasSupported()) {
alert('canvas supported');
}
};

function canvasSupported() {
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
return (canvas.getContext && canvas.getContext('2d'));
}
</script>

浏览器显示:
yeoman2

5). 通过bower增加库jquery-pjax


~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-yo>bower install jquery-pjax
bower jquery-pjax#*         not-cached git://github.com/defunkt/jquery-pjax.git#*
bower jquery-pjax#*            resolve git://github.com/defunkt/jquery-pjax.git#*
bower jquery-pjax#*           download https://github.com/defunkt/jquery-pjax/archive/v1.7.3.tar.gz
bower jquery-pjax#*            extract archive.tar.gz
bower jquery-pjax#*           resolved git://github.com/defunkt/jquery-pjax.git#1.7.3
bower jquery#>=1.8              cached git://github.com/components/jquery.git#2.0.3
bower jquery#>=1.8            validate 2.0.3 against git://github.com/components/jquery.git#>=1.8
bower jquery-pjax#~1.7.3       install jquery-pjax#1.7.3

jquery-pjax#1.7.3 app\bower_components\jquery-pjax
└── jquery#2.0.3

~ D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-yo>bower list
bower check-new     Checking for new versions of the project dependencies..
nodejs-yo#0.0.0 D:\workspace\javascript\nodejs-yo
├── jquery#1.9.1 (latest is 2.0.3)
├─┬ jquery-pjax#1.7.3 extraneous
│ └── jquery#1.9.1 (2.0.3 available)
├── modernizr#2.6.2
└── requirejs#2.1.8

Yeoman已经成功地帮助我们打造出一个项目的原型了,接下来我们可以针对自己的项目,自己熟悉的框架组合,构建一个属于自己的骨架模板,并发布到Yeoman的generator库中。

后面的内容会更精彩,敬请期待…!!
