Webpack-cli: [FEATURE]: Adding a scaffold generator

[anikethsaha]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Creating a custom scaffold for a team or individual can be quite difficult if can't get a first stage help from the project

Describe the solution you'd like
This generator like the other generators (loaders, plugins etc ) will certainly give a boilerplate code to the developer with the official scaffold guide's standards and support. And a developer can just work on top of that may be like adding custom few more questions and then use it for development.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The same above

Hi @anikethsaha, I wrote one here and published today only. It is not tested by users for now. Will be happy to get yours feedback 👍.

Hi @anikethsaha, that's a good idea!

Good job @rishabh3112 😉 I'm testing your generator on windows but I'm getting an error:

PS: if you prefer we can move this into an issue in your repo

[anikethsaha]

@rishabh3112 yup I will give feedback soon over that. I added a PR in your repo in order to solve the error mentioned by @misterdev.

[rishabh3112]

@misterdev have a look now. Have shipped the fix at v1.0.3.
Thanks for PR @anikethsaha :)

[misterdev]

That's great! What about adding to the README the instructions to use it without installing webpack-cli init webpack-scaffold-starter?

PS: @rishabh3112 @anikethsaha, if you want, I would appreciate feeback on #799 :)

[anikethsaha]

@misterdev That article is very well written. good work on that

[rishabh3112]

@misterdev which README ? You mean at webpack-cli?
If so, I am waiting a review on this by @webpack/cli-team. If they affirm we can add this as a recommendation for starting a new scaffold 😄

[anikethsaha]

@rishabh3112 I think @misterdev meant in your project's readme to test/run it locally

[anikethsaha]

@rishabh3112 @misterdev Can you guys please test this. I would really appreciate your feedback

[misterdev]

@anikethsaha it's nice, I generally think that in order to be used it should provide as many detailed instructions as possible on how to set up and run everything :)

[evenstensberg]

@anikethsaha could you work on this?

[anikethsaha]

Yeah sure!
I guess me and @rishabh3112 can work on this as we planned earlier.

[rishabh3112]

Yes, This issue has been resolved and package is released to npm.
Project is available at https://github.com/rishabh3112/webpack-scaffold-starter.
