generator-verb NPM version

Kickstart documentation for any project! This is the official Yeoman generator for Verb, the zero-configuration markdown docs generator that is extremely easy to use and extend.

Pull requests welcome!

Getting Started

Install globally with npm:

npm i -g generator-verb

Usage

Once installed globally, simply run:

yo verb

Running the generator with yo verb will add the following files to your project:

Sub-generators

Sub-generators allow you to add a specific file or files to an existing project.

yo verb:doc

Add a specific document with:

yo verb:doc foo.md

Where foo.md is the name of the file you want to add. If the name used matches an actual file in verb-readme-includes, then that file will be copied into the docs/ directory of your project.

If the name doesn't match a valid file in verb-readme-includes, then a new "starter" document will be created using the given file name.

yo verb:boilerplate

Use a boilerplate to kickstart documentation for a project. Boilerplates include a README.tmpl.md template and a few includes, such as install.md, options.md etc.

yo verb:boilerplate foo

Where foo is the name of the boilerplate you want to use from verb-boilerplates.

Valid yo verb:boilerplate arguments are:

Pro tip: you can use the default boilerplate, node, by running just yo verb:boilerplate.

Visit the docs for adding custom boilerplates.

yo verb:mocha

Add a test/test.js file with a starter mocha test.

yo verb:test

Like yo verb:mocha but more basic. Just adds a test.js file in the root directory.
