Get started and then find a generator for your webapp. Generators are available for Angular, Backbone, React, Polymer and over 1500+ other projects. Read the Yeoman Monthly Digest for our latest picks.
What’s Yeoman?
Yeoman helps you to kickstart new projects, prescribing best practices and tools to help you stay productive.
To do so, we provide a generator ecosystem. A generator is basically a plugin that can be run with the yo command to scaffold complete projects or useful parts.
Through our official Generators, we promote the “Yeoman workflow”. This workflow is a robust and opinionated client-side stack, comprising tools and frameworks that can help developers quickly build beautiful web applications. We take care of providing everything needed to get started without any of the normal headaches associated with a manual setup.
With a modular architecture that can scale out of the box, we leverage the success and lessons learned from several open-source communities to ensure the stack developers use is as intelligent as possible.
As firm believers in good documentation and well thought out build processes, Yeoman includes support for linting, testing, minification and much more, so developers can focus on solutions rather than worrying about the little things.
Tools
The Yeoman workflow comprises three types of tools for improving your productivity and satisfaction when building a web app: the scaffolding tool (yo), the build tool (Grunt, Gulp, etc) and the package manager (like Bower and npm).
