chef-gen-flavor-base is a base class to make it easy to create 'flavors' for use with [chef-gen-flavors](https://github.com/jf647/chef-gen-flavors). chef-gen-flavors plugs into the 'chef generate' command provided by ChefDK to let you provide an alternate template for cookbooks and other chef components. This gem simply provides a class your flavor can derive from; templates are provided by separate gems, which you can host privately for use within your organization or publicly for the Chef community to use. An example flavor that demonstrates how to use this gem is distributed separately: [chef-gen-flavor-example](https://github.com/jf647/chef-gen-flavor-example) At present this is focused primarily on providing templates for generation of cookbooks, as this is where most organization-specific customization takes place. Support for the other artifacts that ChefDK can generate may work, but is not the focus of early releases.

An example plugin for [chef-gen-flavors](https://rubygems.org/gems/chef-gen-flavors). This plugin makes use of all the snippets provided by chef-gen-flavor-base, is meant as a reference implementation than for actual use. It demonstrates how to create a flavor with tests and serves as a good example of how to get started writing your own flavors for distribution. There are two flavors in this gem: * example: includes all the snippets in their default form * example2: inherits from example but removes ExampleFile and ExampleTemplate from the list of snippets to use

chef-gen-flavors is a framework for creating custom templates for the 'chef generate' command provided by ChefDK. This gem simply provides a framework; templates are provided by separate gems, which you can host privately for use within your organization or publicly for the Chef community to use. [chef-gen-flavor-base](https://github.com/jf647/chef-gen-flavor-base) is a base class that makes it easy to compose a flavor from reusable snippets of functionality, and using it is highly recommended. Using chef-gen-flavors on its own is only suitable if you already have a template which is a copy of the skeleton provided by ChefDK. At present this is focused primarily on providing templates for generation of cookbooks, as this is where most organization-specific customization takes place. Support for the other artifacts that ChefDK can generate may work, but is not the focus of early releases.
