Dependencies

Plugins

• Plugins have the ability to install new dependencies, remove dependencies, modify scripts, remove and add new files to a project
• Right now the following plugins are available: - Storybook: Installs storybook and adds the needed files to the project - Plop: Adds the plop generator to the project. It also adds a default plop-templates folder, a plopfile.js. - Add .env: Adds an .env file to the project. Soon this file will be editable through UI. - Rewire: Installs react-app-rewired and adds a default config-overrides.js file

Note: plugins will be separated from the repo soon so anyone can publish their own plugin

Generate files

• Automatically detect a plopfile.js and quickly generate files from existing templates.
• If plopfile.js is not present or you are not familiar with plop run the Plop plugin and it will generate the needed files for you
