Yeoman is purely development-time workflow tooling. It and its ecosystem (the "generator-XXXX" npm modules) use Node.js as the runtime on the development host. Typical Yeoman use would be 1) during development to speed dev, testing, etc., and 2) to build minified assets for deployment into production.
EDIT: Removed confusing "client-side" reference caught by 9oliYQjP -- thanks!
- mrgreenfur 13y agoAh, thanks!
- 9oliYQjP 13y agoActually, while client-side development is where it has gained the most popularity, I use some Yeoman generators for setting up some backends. Here is one such example that scaffolds a Node project: https://github.com/yeoman/generator-node https://github.com/yeoman/generator-node. There's really nothing stopping you from using Yeoman for live reloading of a frontend and backend stack.
