Generators

There are many slush generators available already. Before you create your own generator, make sure you are not trying to do something that already exists. Then, you can just use it. Also, look at various generators and their code bases and project structures. This is a highly opinionated subject area.

My Writings

gulp's streaming philosophy and inquirer are just the components that we should be aware of in writing a slush generator! Couple of my resources are included here if you want to know more about them.

• Gulp
• Inquirer

A slush-like tool is Yeoman. It's more popular and has many generators. Read about Yeoman.
