A command line scaffolding tool for Meteor applications. It automatically creates project structure, files and boilerplate code.
Note: You are looking at a development version. To see what has been released,
click the branch
dropdown menu and choose the tag for the latest release. For
example, for version 0.2.5 click branch: master -> Tags -> 0.2.5
.
Install the iron command line tool globally so you can use it from any project directory.
$ npm install -g iron-meteor
This replaces the em
command line tool.
You can remove the meteor-em tool like this:
$ npm uninstall -g meteor-em
You can upgrade an existing project either by hande or by using the migrate
command like this:
./my-app
$ iron migrate
I need help creating templates for coffeescript, less, scss, jade, etc. Please open an issue if you'd like to help on one of these!
The reason is that I rewrote the way the command line tool works with different engines. But in doing so, I ran out of time to add back all the various engine templates. It's just a matter of adding the corresponding templates in each of the template folders. For example, if you have template.js, we need to create template.js.coffee.
Use the help
command to get a list of the top level commands.
$ iron help
Use the g
command to see a list of generators.
$ iron g
$ iron create my-app
The application will have the following directory structure:
my-app/
.iron/
config.json
bin/
build/
config/
development/
env.sh
settings.json
app/
client/
collections/
lib/
stylesheets/
templates/
head.html
lib/
collections/
controllers/
methods.js
routes.js
packages/
private/
public/
server/
collections/
controllers/
lib/
methods.js
publish.js
bootstrap.js
$ iron run
This will automatically load your config/development/env.sh and config/development/settings.json files.
$ iron run --env=staging
This will use the config files in config/staging
instead.
$ iron debug
$ iron build
Iron projects require buildpacks to look for the app in /app/ in addition to the root for deployments to work. Currently there is a patched version of the Horse buildpack available that is compatible with Iron based projects. Use this fork until the patches has been added to the main Horse repo.
$ heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/lirbank/meteor-buildpack-horse.git
This will build your application and put the resulting bundle into the project's build folder.
$ iron g:scaffold todos
$ iron g:template todos/todo_item
$ iron g:controller webhooks/stripe --where "server"
$ iron g:route todos/show_todo
$ iron g:collection todos
$ iron g:publish todos
$ iron g:stylesheet main
Meteor commands will automatically be proxied to the meteor command line tool.
Contributions and ideas are welcome.
