Custom templates

[MerrickGit]

tsdx is't silver bullet, but it can be.

Current Behavior

May be I just did't find this feature, but tsdx can't create custom templates.

Suggested Solution

Create package based on remote template.

Example:
tsdx create your_new_package --remote-template=https://github.com/user/prototype

Step by step instruction:

1. tsdx download template
2. Find into repo config file.
3. add template to templates and config to configs.
4. do usual work

Who does this impact? Who is this for?

People are using monorepo.

Additional context

We create big monorepo(about 300 packages) and we use tsdx, but we spend a lot of time creating/copying the same type of files(configs/structure/libraries) instead of use template.

@jaredpalmer i see its so demanded features. What do you think about it?

[jaredpalmer]

Yeah, that’s fine. Probs can copy logic from create-react-app

@jaredpalmer @sw-yx can you see my comment in PR? What do you think?

i'm fine with it, gonna leave this one up to jared to see if he wants to merge first and iterate or require remote

I submitted another proposal for this, with support for remote templates (npm could be added easily I guess).
It reuses the --template option instead of introducing a new one.

See #502.
