Yo2

Yo2 is a faster and more user friendly alternative to the Yeoman CLI. It achieves this by eliminating the unnessary network calls that yeoman-cli makes. Yo2 will not make calls through insights. It just runs the generator as you would expect.

npm install yo2 -g

When it comes to running your generator yo2 works just like yo-cli. The first argument is the generator's name!

yo2 [name] [...options or arguments]

Aliasing generator names

Did someone use your generator name? No worries, Yo2 provides an aliasing feature that allows generator names to be aliased to whatever you what.

yo2 --alias newName:oldName

yo2 --alias react:react-component123

You list alias by running the alias flag with no arguments

yo2 --alias

{
  react: 'react-component123'
}

You can remove aliases with the --alias-rm flag

yo2 --alias-rm react

Programmatic API

Yo2 can also be used programmaticaly. Here's an example of running the react2 generator.

const yo = require('yo2');

yo.run([ 'react2', './src/app/components' ], { stateless: true });

The run method accepts two arguments: a set of command-arguments and the generator options.
