How to use YML files for a Mojito project?

Question

It is said that Mojito can use JSON or YML as the application.json (the config file), but I haven't seen YML examples around?

For example, how to convert:

[
    {
        "settings": [ "master" ],
        "specs": {
            "hello" : {
                "type" : "HelloWorldMojit"
            }
        }
    }
]

to a YML file?

Also, when we use

$ mojito create app Hello

can't we specify that we want YML files as the default (instead of JSON files)?

Details:

I used npm's yamljs to convert the file to:

-
  settings: [master]
  specs: { hello: { type: HelloWorldMojit } }

and it doesn't work. And I edited it to

-
  settings: [master]
  specs:
      hello:
          type:
              HelloWorldMojit

It won't work either. The server can start, but when the homepage was accessed, the error is:

error: (outputhandler.server): { [Error: Cannot expand instance [hello], 
       or instance.controller is undefined] code: 500 }

(the file routes.json is depending on hello being defined)

As of Mojito 0.5.2, YML is supported again. 0.5.1 and 0.5.0 do not support it.

We don't have archetypes with yaml, you will have to transform the files manually and renaming them. The good news, a more flexible archetypes infrastructure is on the making.

You should be ok with that configuration you pasted in the question, just use the latest version of mojito (0.5.x)
