🚀 Feature: Documentation Request: Update guide "Writing Custom Actions" showing how to leverage Backstage CLI about backstage

[awanlin]

Hi @Al-Serhan, this makes sense to me. Just so I'm on the same page you mean adding details about running yarn new to create the package with things nicely setup for you, right?

I might avoid screenshots unless you think they are really needed, I find they can create a disjointed experience - they don't match, take up a lot of space, and don't get updated easily over time. Open to see what you have in mind though. 👍

[Al-Serhan]

Hi @awanlin, yes correct the yarn new feature is what I meant. Absolutely screenshots aren't necessary it was just a suggestion that I threw. Happy to take this one up if you assign it to me.

[awanlin]

OK, great, I think this is a great idea. These docs dive right into the deep end so would appreciate you adding some of the steps before you get to that point 🚀

Feel free to tag me on you PR to help review 👍

Issue assigned 😄

Just following up from the SIG here, that we got a report on discord that we should probably add support to the yarn new for scaffolder actions for the new backend system and exporting a backendModule too if that's possible 🙏

Hi @benjdlambert , since this would be an added code change, would it make sense to have it in an another seperate issue?

I tried to find the report on discord but I can't see it mentioned anywhere, maybe we can discuss in the SIG meeting.

[benjdlambert]

@Al-Serhan yeah, maybe another issue makes more sense - thought that this was the most relevant but I think you're right.
