As developers, we don’t like writing code again and again. generate-react-cli is a useful utility. It is a based-on templates, so we don’t need to write our code again and again.

If you come from Angular, you probably love the Angular CLI feature that it can generate templates for your project.

You can generate your project templates similarly using ‘generate-react-cli’ library in React. To install we will be using npx task script;
$ npx generate-react-cli component Header

First time running the script, it will install and create: generate-react-cli.json with the options you choose on the first time you use the tool, but feel free to change these manually.

To create your own custom component template file. Change ‘generate-react-cli.json’ to point to the templates files we will be creating;

{
"usesTypeScript": true,
"usesCssModule": false,
"cssPreprocessor": "scss",
"testLibrary": "Enzyme",
"component": {
"default": {
"path": "src/components",
"withStyle": true,
"withTest": true,
"withStory": false,
"withlazy": false
},
"page": {
"customTemplates": {
"component": "templates/component/component.js",
"style": "templates/component/style.scss",
"test": "templates/component/test.js"
},
"path": "src/pages",
"withLazy": true,
"withStory": false,
"withStyle": true,
"withTest": true
},
"layout": {
"path": "src/layout",
"withLazy": false,
"withStory": false,
"withStyle": false,
"withTest": true
}
}
}

Here is an example of creating a custom template for React Home page component.
$ npx generate-react-cli component HomePage --type=page
