SAO is a Node.js-based project scaffolding CLI that generates new projects from generators published as npm packages, git repos, or local folders. It aims to combine the power of Yeoman with the simplicity of vue-cli, and supports offline use of cached generators.
Use cases
- scaffold a new node.js module from a template
- generate project boilerplate from a git repo
- create projects from npm generator packages offline
- write simple custom project generators
- replace yeoman with a simpler scaffolding tool
When to choose
- you want a simpler alternative to Yeoman for project generators
- you need to scaffold projects from npm packages or git repos, including offline
- you prefer writing generators with minimal boilerplate
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained tooling with guaranteed updates (v2 has no ETA)
- you need a full-featured framework beyond scaffolding
- you are not in a Node.js/npm ecosystem
