## Quickstart
**Install**
Install [generate](https://github.com/generate/generate) and `generate-mocha`:
```sh
$ npm install --global generate generate-mocha
```
**Generate a test.js file**
Initiate a prompt to generate a `test.js` file in the current working directory:
```sh
$ gen mocha
$ gen mocha --dest ./foo
```
## Files trees
The following files trees are automatically generated by a task in [verbfile.js](verbfile.js).
* [generated files](#generated-files): trees representing the actual generated "dest" files for each task
* [source files](#source-files): trees representing the source files and templates used by each task
_(See Generate's [customization docs ](https://github.com/generate/generate/blob/master/docs/customization.md) to learn how to override individual templates.)_
### Generated files
Files generated by each task (e.g. `dest` files). See the Generate [customization docs ](https://github.com/generate/generate/blob/master/docs/customization.md) to learn how to override individual templates.
Note that diffs are base on comparisons against the files generated by the `default` task. Additionally, some tasks generate the same files, but with different contents (for example, the contents of `index.js` differs based on the task).
#### default
Files generated by the [default task](#default):
```diff
.
└── test.js
```
#### base
Files generated by the [base task](#base):
```diff
.
└── test.js
```
#### generator
Files generated by the [generator task](#generator):
```diff
.
+└─┬ test
├── test.js
+ └── plugin.js
```
#### updater
Files generated by the [updater task](#updater):
```diff
.
+└─┬ test
├── test.js
+ └── plugin.js
```
### Source files
The following trees represent the source files or templates that are used by each task. You'll see that most of the tasks use at least one "micro-generator" to generate a specific file.
#### default
Source files and/or libraries used by the [default task](#default):
```diff
.
└─┬ templates
├── base.js
└── test.js
```
#### base
Source files and/or libraries used by the [base task](#base):
```diff
.
└─┬ templates
└── base.js
```
#### generator
Source files and/or libraries used by the [generator task](#generator):
```diff
.
└─┬ scaffolds
└─┬ generator
└─┬ templates
├── plugin.js
└── test.js
```
#### updater
Source files and/or libraries used by the [updater task](#updater):
```diff
.
└─┬ scaffolds
└─┬ updater
└─┬ templates
├── plugin.js
└── test.js
```
## What is "Generate"?
Generate is a command line tool and developer framework for scaffolding out new GitHub projects using [generators](https://github.com/generate/generate/blob/master/docs/generators.md) and [tasks](https://github.com/generate/generate/blob/master/docs/tasks.md).
Answers to prompts and the user's environment can be used to determine the templates, directories, files and contents to build. Support for [gulp](http://gulpjs.com), [base](https://github.com/node-base/base) and [assemble](https://github.com/assemble/assemble) plugins, and much more.
**For more information**:
* Visit the [generate project](https://github.com/generate/generate/)
* Visit the [generate documentation](https://github.com/generate/generate/blob/master/docs/)
* Find [generators on npm](https://www.npmjs.com/browse/keyword/generate-generator) (help us [author generators](https://github.com/generate/generate/blob/master/docs/micro-generators.md))
## Getting started
### Install
**Installing the CLI**
To run the `mocha` generator from the command line, you'll need to install [Generate](https://github.com/generate/generate) globally first. You can do that now with the following command:
```sh
$ npm install --global generate
```
This adds the `gen` command to your system path, allowing it to be run from any directory.
**Install generate-mocha**
Install this module with the following command:
```sh
$ npm install --global generate-mocha
```
### Usage
Run this generator's `default` [task](https://github.com/generate/generate/blob/master/docs/tasks.md#default) with the following command:
```sh
$ gen mocha
```
**What you should see in the terminal**
If completed successfully, you should see both `starting` and `finished` events in the terminal, like the following:
```sh
[00:44:21] starting ...
...
[00:44:22] finished ✔
```
If you do not see one or both of those events, please [let us know about it](../../issues).
### Help
To see a general help menu and available commands for Generate's CLI, run:
```sh
$ gen help
```
## Tasks
All available tasks.
### [default](generator.js#L55)
Alias for the [test](#test) task. Allows the generator to be run with the following command:
**Example**
```sh
$ gen mocha
```
### [base](generator.js#L67)
Generate a `test.js` file with unit tests for a [base](https://github.com/node-base/base) project.
**Example**
```sh
$ gen mocha:base
```
### [gulp](generator.js#L79)
Generate a `test.js` file with unit tests for a [gulp](http://gulpjs.com) plugin project.
**Example**
```sh
$ gen mocha:gulp
```
### [generator](generator.js#L96)
Generate unit tests for a [generate](https://github.com/generate/generate) generator. Creates:
* `test.js`
* `plugin.js`
**Example**
```sh
$ gen mocha:gen
# aliased as
$ gen mocha:generator
```
### [updater](generator.js#L112)
Generate unit tests for an [update](https://github.com/update/update) "updater". Creates:
* `test.js`
* `plugin.js`
**Example**
```sh
$ gen mocha:updater
```
