generator-ui5-control

A Yeoman generator that scaffolds a UI5 custom control structured for npm distribution, with a manual test app with live reload and a Jest test suite already wired in.

Building a custom control able to ship separately as an npm module means setting up both the control's folder layout and its packaging config by hand. This generator scaffolds that structure in one step, plus a manual test app with live reload and a Jest test suite already wired in. It runs through Easy-UI5 when prompted, or standalone with Yeoman.
