Stimpy

A simple yet inventive fellow for making hapi things.

Stimpy exists because a) we love hapi.js and b) because we host a weekly hack night where folks are always looking for ways to quickly build and publicly demo little web apps. The package manager and deploy function in Meteor is awesome, but comes with too much baggage. So Stimpy gives us just what we want for web inventions: a simple starting place, packages via npm or bower, and a one line deploy to a free public demo via heroku. All in 5 minutes or less - or your money back. We'd love to hear from you if you use Stimpy for your next hack - tweet us up at @bigroomstudios!

You'll need to have installed node, a heroku login and the heroku toolbelt.

To install stimpy:

$ npm install -g stimpy bower gulp

(You might need to sudo that depending on your system)

To create a starter app:

$ stimpy create medium my-new-app
$ cd my-new-app
$ stimpy start

This installs and runs a copy of the stimpy-medium boilerplate.

To test deploy:

$ stimpy deploy heroku

You'll want to point the git origin to your own repo:

$ git remote set-url origin [email protected]:yourgituser/your-app.git

After you make changes, you'll have to commit it to master before deploying:

$ git commit -am "made some awesome changes"
$ stimpy deploy heroku

Stimpy Flavors

Stimpy comes in several delicious flavors:

Lite for even less:

$ stimpy create lite my-new-app

Medium for a little refinement:

$ stimpy create medium my-new-app

API for the back end only:

$ stimpy create api my-new-app

Mobile for a mobile / web hybrid crocostimpy:

$ stimpy create mobile my-new-app

Polymer for hapi / polymer comboface:

$ stimpy create polymer my-new-app

To-do

• Use Yeoman instead of git for boilerplates / generators
• Support custom deploy locations
• Plug-ins / recipes for popular PaaS' (e.g. nodejitsu)
• Deploy rollback option
