This little utility allows you to create templates for your react app. It can be thought of as the "File->New" of any new project.

The utility:

• Uses the official create-react-app to generate a react app
• It allows you to pass any flags through you want (free text)
• Sets up any extra npm packages that you routinely install
• Sets up your project directory structure
• Copies over any boiler plate code you want for this project type
• Generates a visual solution & project file
• In Visual Studio, it sets up the "build/debug" command to run "npm start"
• In Visual Studio, it sets up the "build/release" command to "npm run build"
• The tool allows you to save configs and re-load them again at a later date. This means you could have different conifgs for different app types.
• The app template files are simple .json files

The origins of this side-project stem from a stack overflow question I asked about how to extend the build process in Visual Studio.

Once I found out how to do this and because I wanted to generate a visual studio solution for every new React project I create, I knocked up this quick tool which wraps up everything I wanted all together.
