### defaultProject

• `Optional` **defaultProject**: `string`

Default project. When project isn't provided, the default project
will be used. Convenient for small workspaces with one main application.

### extends

• `Optional` **extends**: `string`

• `Optional` **generators**: `Object`

List of default values used by generators.

These defaults are global. They are used when no other defaults are configured.

Example:

    }
  }
}
```
