Configurable Suffixes

[TrentonAdams]

I have made suffixes configurable for the various types of files like .client.view.html, .client.routes.js, etc.

I used the yeoman feature for storing configurations. If you put ".yo-rc.json" in the root of your MEAN.js project, the configurations in it will be automatically pulled in.

I did not provide unit tests for the yeoman storage API, as I presume we should trust that they've provided adequate unit tests for their own project.

A working .yo-rc.json is below...

{
"generator-meanjs": {
"suffixes": {
"client": {
"config": ".config.js",
"routes": ".routes.js",
"controller": ".controller.js",
"services": ".service.js",
"module": ".module.js",
"views": ".view.html",
"controller_tests": ".js",
"routes_tests": ".js"
},
"server": {
"config": ".config.js",
"routes": ".routes.js",
"controller": ".controller.js",
"model": ".model.js",
"policy": ".policy.js",
"model_tests": ".tests.js",
"routes_tests": ".tests.js"
}
}
}
}

I guess I should mention the risks and caveats, and we can think about how we want to mitigate them.

I can think of one risk. If you change all your suffixes to a simple '.js', they will somtimes conflict. i.e. testcruds.config.js and testcrudis.routes.js would both be testcruds.js. We could do a config validation of sorts on startup, and ensure there are no conflicts. It looks like app/index.js would be the appropriate location, yes?

Any thoughts on this as of yet?
