Trick question. It's not a thing. It's this guy:
Basically, he wears a top hat, lives in your computer, and waits for you to tell him what kind of application you wish to create.
Not every new computer comes with a Yeoman pre-installed. He lives in the npm package repository. You only have to ask for him once, then he packs up and moves into your hard drive. Make sure you clean up, he likes new and shiny things.
$ npm install -g yo
It's a Yeoman generator for WooCommerce plugins. Specifically, it creates a scaffold for a payment gateway plugin.
If you do not already have the Yeoman toolset installed do so now, and might as well install me at the same time (NOTE: don't type the $):
$ npm install -g yo generator-woocommerce-payment-gateway
And run me:
$ yo woocommerce-payment-gateway
- Add: basic gateway class methods
- First release
Yeoman has a heart of gold. He's a person with feelings and opinions, but he's very easy to work with. If you think he's too opinionated, he can be easily convinced.
