Generators Revamp

[imhoffd]

The current functionality of ionic generate is a stopgap. This is a placeholder issue for revamping generators for better UX, stability, features, etc.

Just started to look at Schematics.

See:

Impressive work, @Robinyo! Schematics is definitely what we're planning on using for Ionic Angular v4+ generators in the Ionic CLI. I took a look into Schematics a little while ago when the project was just getting started, and it looks like your work is very similar to what I was doing. This will definitely help when we go to implement this in the Ionic CLI. 👍

One difference is that we were going to work with the Angular team to get our schematics in the npm org: https://www.npmjs.com/~schematics.

If you're interested in going further and helping with the Ionic CLI implementation, I'd love to talk and bring you up to speed with what I've been working on to get ready for Ionic Angular v4. Are you on Ionic Worldwide? 👉 https://ionicworldwide.herokuapp.com/

(No pressure, of course.) 😄

v4 generators use the Angular CLI and most, if not all, requests are fulfilled by it. Please see #3019 to get started testing.

v3 generators use @ionic/app-scripts and likely won't be revamped.
