Genie.Generator.newapp — Function
newapp(app_name::String; autostart::Bool = true, fullstack::Bool = false, dbsupport::Bool = false, mvcsupport::Bool = false) :: Nothing

Scaffolds a new Genie app, setting up the file structure indicated by the various arguments.

Arguments

  • path::String: the name of the app and the path where to bootstrap it. Spaces not allowed
  • autostart::Bool: automatically start the app once the file structure is created
  • fullstack::Bool: the type of app to be bootstrapped. The fullstack app includes MVC structure, DB connection code, and asset pipeline files.
  • dbsupport::Bool: bootstrap the files needed for DB connection setup via the SearchLight ORM
  • mvcsupport::Bool: adds the files used for HTML+Julia view templates rendering and working with resources
