Create a default blade when a new application is created

[leggetter]

When I run brjs app-create I'd like a default blade to be created.

I may want to run brjs app-create --no-blade to disable the creation of the default blade.

This might be a good idea, but I just wonder what the default blade will be called and whether you will always end up having to delete it before you do any work.

On a related note, creating a blade via the command line currently produces a 'presenter blade'. This is not ideal if you don't want to use presenter as there is a lot of code to remove.

Maybe there's a --blade-template flag which identifies the Blade template to use e.g.

brjs app-create myApp --blade-template presenter

But maybe that's adding too much unnecessary complexity? Food for thought when we get here.

Why not simply go:

brjs new myApp -t (--template) presenter

?

[leggetter]

@benqus Because the template is being applied to the auto-generated Blade, and not the app. I think it's clearer. Make sense?

[benqus]

@leggetter I reckon you might want to specify Blade creation templates as a default option. I would avoid generating Blades with different templates.

I think no blade by default, and if you do want one then you have to specify the template (e.g. presenter),
rather than having to specify if you don't want a blade created, or having to delete the code that is created if you forget.

@mikes-caplin Why would you want to create a BladeRunnerJS app without a Blade? Isn't that more of an edge case, hence the --no-blade option.

[mikes-c]

Fair enough if the main use case is creating more complex single page applications. Then the default should be with a blade created (with the default being the presenter blade). And the no blade option for simpler applications, which is only an occasional use case.

I'm happy to close this and we can consider things further as part of #126
