Project init file

[thomyg]

💡 Idea

Related to Issue 109 I thought of creating something like an "init" file. A JSON config file that holds all the values one provides in the wizard during setup.

With such a file

• senior members of the team can prepopulate values for others
• you can easily recreate the same app from scratch for another tenant (dev, test, prod)
• we could even export values from an existing project and recreate an init file
• you can enforce naming conventions and URLs easier and more consistent

hope to help, and you are welcome @appieschot ;)

Yeoman has a config file called .yo-rc.json that can be used to persist values - see https://yeoman.io/authoring/storage.html

Perfect, Then we just need a tutorial on how to use this.

The only thing the file is used for right not is the libraryName essentially:

➜ cat .yo-rc.json
{
  "generator-teams": {
    "promptValues": {
      "developer": "Wictor Wilén"
    },
    "libraryName": "test111",
    "generator-version": "3.3.1-preview"
  }
}

Let's start with some documentation 📄 on how to set this up. (dependent on #244)
