ViewComponent generator

I'm using the CLI to create components, e.g.

$ rails g component link classes size --preview                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
      create  app/components/link_component.rb
      invoke  rspec
      create    spec/components/link_component_spec.rb
      invoke  preview
      create    spec/components/previews/link_component_preview.rb
      invoke  erb
      create    app/components/link_component.html.erb

It would be awesome, instead of a preview argument, if we could pass in a --storybook which would create spec/components/stories/link_component_stories.rb.

Is that on anyone's radar? Is there a way to extend generators like that? If not, we could potentially create our own generator which calls out to ViewComponent and also creates a story?

I agree this would be awesome. I don't think you can extend generators but adding a new one that wraps the VC generator is certainly possible. I don't have a lot of time to work on this personally but a PR would be welcomed.

I can tackle this after the install generator PR is finished. I have a bit of time in the coming days.
