To expand on that, here are the things that need to go in it: 1. Create a Yeoman template for FlexJS 2. Publish it to yeoman repository 3. When user types: '*yo flexjs*', do the following:
1. Install Flexjs (internally call *npm install flexjs -g*) 2. Download FlexJS simple app template 3. A very simple compilation step (ex. *mxmlc ./flexjsApp/src/FlexJSApp.mxml*) 4. User runs *grunt serve* (a server is started and the flexapp is served up on localhost:8000) It does not seem like a work to get all this going. If only I could find some time :-( Thanks, Om On Tue, Feb 7, 2017 at 12:01 PM, OmPrakash Muppirala <bigosma...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes, one of the things I wanted to do was: add support for 'yo flexjs'. > It would set up the FlexJS SDK and create a simple app that folks can > compile and run right away.
