generact is a CLI tool that generates new React components by replicating existing components in your project, regardless of file structure. It scans a project for components to use as templates and works with common boilerplates like create-react-app and react-boilerplate.

Use cases

• generate react components from existing ones
• scaffold new react components without copy-pasting
• create components matching my project's file structure
• avoid repetitive component boilerplate in react projects
• generate components compatible with create-react-app
• replicate an existing component as a starting point for a new one

When to choose

• you frequently create React components by copying and modifying existing ones
• your project has a custom file structure that rigid generators can't handle
• you use a common boilerplate like create-react-app or react-boilerplate

When to avoid

• you need an actively maintained tool (last release was 2019)
• you use a framework other than React
• you prefer IDE-integrated generation (though a third-party VS Code extension exists)
