Can a custom Yeoman generator install dependencies?

How can I make a custom Yeoman generator to install dependencies? I'm trying to avoid a multi-step installation process and by running 'npm install generator-example' I would like to have access to the local npm modules and bower packages.

Solution

  • By adding the 'this.installDependencies()' Yeoman will automatically try running both npm install and bower install.

    index.js Yeoman file

    ...
end: function () {
  this.installDependencies();
}
...
