generate components using a custom boilerplate template (plop/hygen/...)

[wingleung]

Stencil version:

 @stencil/core@2.6.0

I'm submitting a:
[ ] bug report
[x ] feature request
[ ] support request => Please do not submit support requests here, use one of these channels: https://stencil-worldwide.herokuapp.com/ or https://forum.ionicframework.com/

Current behavior:
When I change the structure of a component the CLI command to generate components will always use the default hard coded template.

Expected behavior:
If stencil offers a way to generate components through a CLI, maybe we could offer developers a way to generate components using a custom boilerplate that contains their own preferred component structure.

Example project https://github.com/wingleung/stencil-plop-example

Question, is it a responsibility of Stencil to offer this feature? If no, should the built-in generator be in there today?

Hey there, thank you for the patience getting back to you. The new team is getting started and we're working through the backlog now.

This is an awesome idea! We have to balance our workload, and we don't currently don't have the bandwidth, but if that changes this is something we'd love to consider.
