Make 'GRC' more configurable (multi-configuration).

[tmicka23]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Hi, thank you for this superb and very practical library.
I would like to suggest an improvement.
currently in version 4.0.2, I can do generate-react component <MyComponent>
which makes MyApp / src / components / <Mycomponent> / <Mycomponent>.js + <Mycomponent>.css + <Mycomponent>.test.js

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to have the possibility of creating a 2nd (or more) configuration like generate-react page Home which does MyApp / src / pages / Home / Home.js + Home.css + Home.test.js

Describe alternatives you've considered

see this example configuration file

{
  "component": {
    "path": "src/components",
    "css": {
      "preprocessor": "css",
      "module": true,
      "withStyle": true
    },
    "test": {
      "library": "None",
      "withTest": true
    },
    "withStory": false,
    "withLazy": false
  },
  "page": {
    "path": "src/pages",
    "css": {
      "preprocessor": "css",
      "module": true,
      "withStyle": true
    },
    "test": {
      "library": "None",
      "withTest": true
    },
    "withStory": false,
    "withLazy": false
  },
  "usesTypeScript": false
}

Thanks for read my issue. thanks for this project !

@tmicka23 thanks for the suggestion! The funny thing is that my buddy suggested the same thing like a week ago. 😄

I think this feature request makes sense and will improve on generating pages with their own default configurations in place.

The plan is to add a new page command that will have its own configuration rules that you can set up just like you did for the component command. You will also be able to pass the same options to the page command that you are already familiar with in the component command.

Once this new feature is published, the next time you run the new version of generate-react-cli, it will ask a few questions so it can update your generate-react-cli.json config file with the new page configuration rules.

Give me a couple of days and I should have this feature ready and published.

Thanks again for the request.
Armin

@tmicka23 I just released a new version of Generate React CLI (v4.1.0) that now has a new page command.

As an example, you should now be able to run npx generate-react-cli page HomePage and it will generate a new HomePage component using its own config rules from the generate-react-cli.json config file.

If you find something not working correctly or as you expected, please don't hesitate to reach out and file/report a bug so I can take care of it.

Thanks
Armin
