# Generate a Creative Commons LICENSE for your Creative Work yo license-cc

Now coming with a license chooser integrated to help you pick LICENSE!

First, install Yeoman and generator-license-cc using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g yo npm install -g generator-license-cc

Generate a Creative Commons LICENSE for your Creative Work:

yo license-cc

generator-license-cc can be used when composing your own generator. An example code how to trigger this generator:

this.composeWith(require.resolve('generator-license-cc/app'), { name: 'Bob A', // (optional) Author's Name creativeWork: 'Media & Data Files', // (optional) Creative Work Title email: 'bob@example.org', // (optional) Author's Email website: 'http://www.example.org', // (optional) Author's Website year: '2016-2017', // (optional) Year(s) to include ccLicensePrompt: 'Choose a License:', // (optional) custom license prompt text ccLicense: 'chooser', // (optional) choose CC license (spdx) or 'chooser' output: 'docs/LICENSE' // (optional) choose output file });

In order to get a list of licenses supported in this generator, you can call:

require('generator-license-cc').licenses

Note: Make sure you have generator-license-cc as a dependency in your generator's package.json:

$ npm install --save generator-license-cc
