Custom a boilerplate

We use npm package to manager boilerplate, you can follow this steps:

• Create a new repo like egg-boilerplate-plugin

• Put all files under boilerplate dir

• Use egg-init --template=PATH to check

• index.js can define variables which can be useed on template, like {{name}}, but \{{name}} will ignore.

  module.exports={name: {desc: 'package-name',},pluginName: {desc: 'plugin-name',default(vars){returnvars.name;},filter(v){return'egg-'+v;},},description: {desc: 'my best plugin',},author: {desc: 'author',default: 'eggjs team'},};

• Write unit test, see npm scripts at egg-boilerplate-simple

• Add your package name to egg-init-config's package.json config.boilerplate property

• Publish your package to npm
