greenhorn

---------

A simple application intended to provide an easy way to hand off development of HTML views/templates

to an uninitiated or outside developer. Greenhorn reads a greenhorn.json file which contains some basic

information including the data context in which a template is rendered. This allows one to provide only

sample data and not the entire application when all that needs to be developed is an HTML view.

```shell

npm install -g greenhorn

```
