CLI support for a modular file structure

[Gim3l]

To offer a slighly better UX for developing apps with Blitz I have a proposal. In blitz I find it customary to keep my file structure clean by creating all modules in a modules directory. For example, if a segment of my app deals with projects I tend to place all files related to projects (pages, components, queries, mutations, hooks) in a modules > projects directory.

It would be nice if the CLI supports something like blitz generate module projects which would create a sub folder in a modules directory. The generated folders in modules > projects could be a queries, components, pages and mutations directories. Then we could have the CLI allow us to use a module with the blitz module use projects command
which could allow us to run the generator for the current module with bliz module generate [component|page|etc..]. Would the cli be capable of doing something like that? Is this a good idea? I'm drawing inspiration from the way the laravel modules package works.

The one and only thing I really liked about other frameworks (ember, angular) was the superior CLI and code scaffolding features (since they are opinionated frameworks). So 👍 on more code scaffolding commands for the CLI tool.

See: https://cli.emberjs.com/release/basic-use/cli-commands/#generatemorefiles
or: https://angular.io/cli/generate

Anyway...

Maybe I'm on the wrong track here but isn't Blitz already creating a file/folder structure in the way you described?
The only difference would be that it's not modules/projects but app/projects. Within the projects folder you should find related queries, pages, components and so on (if you generated the projects model via blitz generate).

So the only difference I see in your question is that you want the CLI to have more broken down commands (which I think would be great to have 🙂 )?
