I’ve been building a side project called rgenex after running into the same issue across multiple React codebases:
The actual business logic/code is usually fine… but teams still lose a lot of time dealing with inconsistent structure.
Different folder layouts, different naming styles, missing test files, repeated PR comments about where things should live, etc.
So I built a CLI where you define your project structure/rules in config, and it generates components/hooks/pages based on that setup.
Kind of trying to make architecture conventions enforceable instead of just “documented.”
I shared an early version recently and got useful feedback that the DX needed improvement, so I shipped an update with things like:
- dry-run preview before generating
- overwrite confirmation prompts
- force overwrite support
- generator listing
- cleaner CLI output overall
Still figuring out if this is solving a problem others actually care enough about.
Curious from people working in React teams:
Would you use something like this in a real project?
If not, what would stop you?
GitHub link in comments if anyone wants to take a look.
