Hello, Flex community! I hope you don't mind if I take a moment to share a new open source project that I think you'll find useful if you're interested in Apache FlexJS.
If you haven't heard of Yeoman, it's a pretty cool tool for generating code (along with any other supporting files) that you might need for a new project. It's designed to work with any framework, and the community has built a ton of "generators" that you can install to create a wide variety of different projects. Today, I'm happy to introduce a Yeoman generator for FlexJS. To get started, you'll need Node.js, and you should install both "yo" and "generator-flexjs" using npm: npm install -g yo npm install -g generator-flexjs Then, create a new, empty directory for your project. Inside a terminal, run the following command in the empty directory: yo flexjs It'll ask you a couple of simple questions, and then it will generate some MXML files to get you started with a new project that uses the new Express component set from FlexJS 0.8. It can even create an asconfig.json file for Visual Studio Code, if you want. There are some other commands that help you to create new MXML components, along with new ActionScript classes and interfaces in your existing project too. Check the readme file for details: https://www.npmjs.com/package/generator-flexjs I hope you'll take a moment to give it a try! Thank you, and happy coding!

Today, I am simply posting as a member of the community who wants to share a cool, independent project that others might enjoy.
