different module templates

[gruppjo]

• implement extended example code like in ionic cli (side menu, tab nav) - https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli#starting-an-ionic-app
• standard modules
• blank modules (e.g. --blank)

I think this is an important issue to attract more people to use this generator. it would be easier to people not accustomed to organize the code into feature-modules if the generated code shows how get an ionic app with tabs or sidemenus and more than one feature-module.

I had to saperately generate ionic app and then pick code bits from there.

👍 Desperatley, I'm getting a bit lost now that I've made 'navigation', 'main' and 'about' modules.

Of course through research I'm aware I should have some kind of 'common' module for nav bar etc but its still a case of working blind for someone new to this generator and using more than one module in a project.

Hi @LunarDevelopment! When you're a beginner I'd recommend you only use one module for everything. We only use modules for very very large projects. That makes it easier at the beginning and you don't have to worry about wha is best put where. And that lets you stay focused on what's important! :)

Edit: I updated the README.md. It now mentions that modules are an advanced technique that is not necessary for most projects. https://github.com/mwaylabs/generator-m/tree/master#yo-mmodule---creates-a-new-module

Solid advice that I'll take, Thankyou very much!

I created a repository showing the templates as we're going to implement them. Feedback welcome!
https://github.com/mwaylabs/generator-m-demo

Run on your machine:

• clone
• npm install && bower install
• optionally run cordova prepare if you want to run it on a device
• gulp watch
• navigate to one of the 3 templates (see repository readme for more info)

This is how you'll be able to use this in the future:

• run yo:m (for a new project) or type yo m:myModule (for a new module)
• choose between: sidemenu, tabs and blank template

[gruppjo]

The implementation is in the master. Feedback still welcome!

[LunarDevelopment]

I'm running latest generator-m and I'm not getting this,

I run yo m:module test sidemenu

and I get a standard module with no additional views or states beyond start.html etc.

[gruppjo]

That's because it hasn't been released yet. If you want to work with the most current (but unstable) version of the generator that includes this feature, you need to clone this repository and npm link it. However we're planning to release soon.

[LunarDevelopment]

Aha, that explains it.

Thank you for the fast response!

Can anyone help me!
Just wanted to know...how to use same template from one module to another?
For Ex. - I created one module with side menu, now I want to create another module -blank, because menu is already in one module..So, now how to use that menu as common for the rest of modules I will create.
