Adding Quasar Framework generator.

[dunglas]

Wow, awesome! Thank you very much for contributing this generator. I don't know Quasar enough to do an efficient review, but I propose to merge it as is. If we attract some Quasar contributors, they'll be able to open PR to improve this generator if needed. WDYT @api-platform/core-team?

@devel-pa can you open a docs PR please?

Hi, PR opened.

api-platform/docs#836

Sounds like a good option 👍

also very interested in seeing this be merged

Thanks @devel-pa!

Hi, I'm from the Quasar core team. This is a nice idea and I love api-platform, but I have a pretty strong opinion about this approach - namely that it could be MUCH better and actually be tightly integrated into the Quasar ecosystem instead of "patched" in this manner.

We have the concept of app-extensions - which allow you to inject templated files and additional dependencies during the installation phase, and even tamper with webpack conf or any other part of the quasar.conf CTX at runtime during dev HMR or build. You can generate and start backends and APIs, run vulnerability tests etc. etc. Since you are already requiring the global use of the @quasar/cli in the docs, it seems like a no-brainer to go the proper route.

This is why I think that it would be better to have an official API-PLATFORM App Extension to manage this, because then there is less template maintenance and it will not get stale as development of Quasar progresses.

If you like, visit us on our discord channel and ask for me @nothingismagick - I'm willing to help you do this right.

P.S. @dunglas - If you want to see a recent comparison between Quasar-CLI managed project and Vue-CLI (with Vuetify) - check out this recent article:

Hi,

Since you are already requiring the global use of the @quasar/cli in the docs: it is for starting a new app as quasar docs stated. Not used by generator.

during the installation phase: usually I have no API at that moment, probably I'm missing something but I don't want/need any code generator (other than plain Quasar) at that point.

it would be better to have an official API-PLATFORM App Extension: could be. There is any example of an extension that adds a command to the CLI (anything that could be generated later)?

Thanks,

Paul
