Set default config

There is support for setting default config options, so you only have to set you desired config once. This makes creating your components even easier. All you have to do is follow one of these three options.

In your package.json, add a "crcf" property key with array of default config options

"stories" is to enable story book component

"spec" to have the file extensions

"crcf": [
  "scss",
  "proptypes",
  "stories",
  "spec"
]

Create a rc file named .crcfrc in the root of your project and insert a array of default config options in that file

[
  "scss",
  "proptypes",
  "stories"
]

Create a config file named .crcf.config.js in the root of your project and insert a array of default config options

[
  "scss",
  "proptypes"
  "stories"
]

So now all you have to do is type npx crcf componentName and you will get all your default options when you create a component or multiple components. Here below you can see all the options.

[
  "typescript",
  "scss",
  "less",
  "nocss",
  "notest",
  "reactnative",
  "createindex",
  "uppercase",
  "jsx",
  "proptypes",
  "stories",
  "nosemi",
  "cssmodules",
]
