# generator-nm

> Scaffold out a [node module](https://github.com/sindresorhus/node-module-boilerplate)

Optionally with a [CLI](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface).

This is what I use for [my own modules](https://www.npmjs.com/~sindresorhus).

## Install

```sh
npm install --global yo generator-nm
```

## Usage

With [yo](https://github.com/yeoman/yo):

```sh
yo nm
```

There are multiple command-line options available:

```
$ yo nm --help

Usage:
yo nm [options]

Options:
--help # Print the generator's options and usage
--skip-cache # Do not remember prompt answers Default: false
--skip-install # Do not automatically install dependencies Default: false
--org # Publish to a GitHub organization account
--cli # Add a CLI
--coverage # Add code coverage with nyc
--codecov # Upload coverage to codecov.io (implies --coverage)
```

The `--org` option takes a string value (i.e. `--org=avajs`). All others are boolean flags and can be negated with the `no` prefix (i.e. `--no-codecov`). You will be prompted for any options not passed on the command-line.

## Tip

Use [chalk](https://github.com/sindresorhus/chalk) if you want colors in your CLI.
