How to disable the generators?

[paul]

We're using Lookbook to preview our partials and Phlex components, and Lookbook pulls in ViewComponent as a dependency. We're not using ViewComponent in this app, but it seems to have registered itself as the Rails 'component' generator, and I'm unable to remove or override it.

Other libraries namespace their generators, like RSpec::Generators::FooGenerator, ViewComponent's generators are in the Rails namespace

Related, ViewComponent kinda pollutes the generator namespace, overall:

It added (in red) all those top-level items, like Haml: Component (we're not using Haml or Slim in this app). Phlex added its generators under the "Phlex" namespace (in yellow), and I added some for our app (in blue). I also added a top-level ComponentGenerator to the app, but its not showing up I think because ViewComponent has already claimed the name, and I'm not able to run my generator.

I can name mine as MyApp::Component, but it'd be nice if I could override the top-level component so that myself and other developers working on this app don't try to do the obvious rails g component and get the wrong files generated.

I opened a PR that moves the generators into a ViewComponent namespace #2130
