generator-mantis

Yeoman generator that scaffolds Mantis extension bundles: manifest, extension host entry, panel UI, optional Python backend, and a script that builds package.mantisx (zip for API upload) plus bundle.json.

generator-mantis on npm

Install

You need Node.js (includes npm).

Install from npm:

npm install -g yo generator-mantis

Check Yeoman sees it:

yo --generators

(mantis should appear in the list.)

Upgrade later:

npm update -g generator-mantis

Usage

In an empty directory:

yo mantis
node pack-bundle.cjs

Import package.mantisx or bundle.json in Mantis. Add another panel from the same folder:

yo mantis:panel

Develop this repo

Use a git clone when hacking on the generator itself (not needed for normal use):

git clone https://github.com/KellisLab/generator-mantis.git
cd generator-mantis
npm install
npm test
npm link
yo mantis
