Create-component-app uses cosmiconfig for configuration file support.
This means you can configure cca via:
* A .ccarc file, written in YAML or JSON, with optional extensions: .yaml/.yml/.json.cca.config.js
* A file that exports an object."cca"
* A key in your package.json file.
The configuration file will be resolved starting from the root of your project,
and searching up the file tree until a config file is (or isn't) found.
An example configuration file can be found here: .ccarc.example, you can use this
file by copying it to the root of your project.
Currently supported options are:
Option | Description

1) Create a JSON file config.json:
2) and pass the path to config param
`sh`
$ create-component-app --config path/to/your/config.json
Passing a config file via the CLI overrides the configuration file loaded by cosmiconfig
`sh`
$ create-component-app --path path/destionation
Passing a param via the CLI overrides the configuration file loaded by cosmiconfig
