create-easy-ui5

An npm-init and npx wrapper that runs the Easy-UI5 Yeoman generator without a global Yeoman install, handing control to generator-easy-ui5 and forwarding any arguments.

A Yeoman generator normally needs Yeoman and the generator itself installed globally before it can scaffold anything. create-easy-ui5 wraps the Easy-UI5 generator so it can instead be run through npm init easy-ui5, npx create-easy-ui5, or its own easy-ui5 binary once installed globally — three entry points that all do the same thing. On each run it creates a Yeoman environment, looks up the easy-ui5:app generator from generator-easy-ui5, and hands control to it, forwarding any arguments; the scaffolding, prompts and templates themselves live there. It needs Node.js 20.17 or later.

npm version License Status REUSE status

npm-init wrapper for the Easy-UI5 Yeoman generator.

create-easy-ui5 is a thin wrapper that makes the Easy-UI5 generator available through npm init, npx, and a standalone easy-ui5 binary — so you can scaffold a new UI5 project without installing Yeoman or the generator globally first. It automatically picks up all available UI5 Community generators.

Quick Start

You can use any of the three entry points below — they all do the same thing. Pick whichever fits your workflow.

# 1. via npm init (no install required)
npm init easy-ui5 [template]

# 2. via npx (no install required)
npx create-easy-ui5 [template]

# 3. via the installed binary
npm install -g create-easy-ui5
easy-ui5 [template]

If you omit [template], Easy-UI5 will prompt you to pick one interactively.

Requirements

  • Node.js ≥ 20.17 (LTS). See DEPENDENCIES.md for the rationale behind this floor.

How it works

create-easy-ui5 does three things on every invocation:

  1. Creates a fresh Yeoman environment in the current working directory.
  2. Looks up the easy-ui5:app generator from generator-easy-ui5 (or any compatible generator already installed locally / globally).
  3. Hands control over to that generator, forwarding any CLI arguments you passed in.

That's it — the actual project scaffolding, prompts, and template logic all live in generator-easy-ui5 and the UI5 Community generators. If you hit something that looks like a template bug, please report it there.

Patch Changes

  • #11 2256be8 Thanks @petermuessig! - fix: declare yeoman-environment as a direct dependency, upgrade to generator-easy-ui5@^3.10.0

    index.js requires yeoman-environment directly, but it was only being resolved transitively via generator-easy-ui5. Depending on how npm laid out the global install tree, that nested copy was not always reachable from create-easy-ui5/index.js, surfacing as Error: Cannot find module 'yeoman-environment' on easy-ui5 startup.

    Declare yeoman-environment as a direct runtime dep and bump generator-easy-ui5 to ^3.10.0, which itself pins yeoman-environment@^6.1.0 — so npm dedupes to a single copy. The ^6.1.0 bump also clears the previously-known GHSA-vv9j-gjw2-j8wp advisory (the workaround that allowlisted it in the dependency-review gate has been removed).

    Notes
    Minor Changes
    • #3 531c3b0 Thanks @petermuessig! - Bump minimum Node.js version to 20.17. Required by transitive yeoman-environment@5.x (engines: ^20.17.0 || >=22.9.0) which generator-easy-ui5@3.9.1 resolves to, and by lint-staged@16.x (engines: >=20.17). See DEPENDENCIES.md for the full rationale.
    Patch Changes

    • #5 39679b7 Thanks @petermuessig! - Harden the repository against Shai-Hulud-class supply-chain attacks:

      • Pin every GitHub Action to a commit SHA (with a tag comment for visibility).
      • Install dependencies with npm ci --ignore-scripts in CI; set HUSKY_SKIP so our own prepare script doesn't run there either.
      • Add dependency-review-action to the PR pipeline (fails on high-severity advisories).
      • Add .github/dependabot.yml for the npm and github-actions ecosystems with weekly cadence and grouped patch/minor PRs.
      • Add .npmrc with engine-strict=true, save-exact=true, package-lock=true.
      • Add a "files": ["index.js"] allow-list to package.json — the published tarball is now exactly index.js, package.json, README.md, and LICENSE.
      • New SECURITY.md documenting the controls and the out-of-band hardening still to be done in the GitHub/npm UI.
