Top list `generator: react-fullstack is not a generator

[zckrs]

• The master branch is not a Yeoman generator but a boilerplate
• If you check the code source the repository use yeoman only to copy boilerplate (no prompt)

#484

If https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap create a branch 'yeoman-generator' who just copy files in new directory and published on NPM.
Should we keep at first position in generator list ???

[sindresorhus]

No, that's why we have a blacklist. So many user publish junk without even changing the repo URL.

You can add it to: https://github.com/yeoman/yeoman.io/blob/master/app/blacklist.json And anything else you find that shouldn't be in the list.

[zckrs]

Already create a PR #484 but @SBoudrias closed :-(

[sindresorhus]

Oh, I didn't see that issue. I think it's because we previously just tried to get the URL from the github repo instead of the npm package. This should have been fixed in https://github.com/yeoman/yeoman-generator-list, but I think @SBoudrias reversed the deploy of that. Not totally sure though.

[zckrs]

Nice :)
But even if the url is recovered from github repo, generator-react-fullstack is a con IMO.

No questions, no prompt just copy https://github.com/kriasoft/react-starter-kit/blob/yeoman-generator/app/index.js#L23

[sindresorhus]

@zckrs I don't agree. It might be simple, but it's still better than having to manually get the starter kit.

[zckrs]

Ok I understand :-/ sorry.

Sort generator only by github stars is not enough.
Im disappointed when I install this top generator.

Keeping open as we're going to somehow fix that generator being at the top.

[arthurvr]

Although I wouldn't agree upon blacklisting, it would be cool if it wouldn't be at the top indeed. Maybe just convincing the author to have a separated repo for the generator is enough. I mean, having it in another repo makes the generator more visible for users (and contributors) too.

[sindresorhus]

Please read my comment: #524 (comment) This is already fixed, just needs to be correctly deployed.

[zckrs]

I do not see a commit that replaced the github link by link npm.

[eddiemonge]

[eddiemonge]

[eddiemonge]
