Goals

• Opinionated and prescriptive
  • minimal to no options
• Mobile-first
• Support server and client apps
• Becomes the best way to create a new Dart project
• Used by WebStorm, CDE, Sublime, and more
• Distributed as a pub package

Non-goals

• Fostering an entire ecosystem of generators
  • This project is too opinionated. It’s not a framework for generators.

Requirements

• Open source, hosted on github
• Run the generators via pub global run
  • or, via an API exposed by the package
• Single package
• Generators for:
  • Dart + HTML app
    • this is the most minimal option. for the developer that doesn’t want to be confused by too much going on.
  • Dart + Polymer app
    • this is the most opinionated and complete option. for the developer that says “I just want to paint by numbers”
  • Dart + server-side
  • Dart library (suitable to publish on pub.dartlang.org)
• Anonymous and opt-in usage analytics
• Creates
  • the project directory itself
  • all required directories
  • pubspec.yaml file
  • .gitignore file
  • initial files like index.html
