Have new project match truffle init

[emilyJLin95]

When I start a new Solidity project through the command palette, it should match the artifacts that are generated by truffle init

Hi @emilyJLin95, thanks for sending this. Currently the New Solidity Project command, followed by the Create basic project option, unboxes the vscode-starter-box. Not sure what the intended outcome should be.

@kevinbluer what should it do?

Likewise, thanks for opening @emilyJLin95! This has been on the radar to improve for a while. After briefly discussing with @acuarica earlier today, we landing on the following:

• Create empty project (equivalent of truffle init)
• Create sample project (current vscode-starter-box box with some enhancements)
• Create project from Truffle Box (which will launch another dropdown with the full list of all boxes)

I'm also tempted to suggest we include the following, although would love input. There's definitely an argument to include these under Truffle boxes, although of course giving them some increased visibility would be pretty cool too.

• Create example NFT project
• Create example Token project
• Create example DAO project

Including the current dropdown for reference...

I like the idea of including "most used" or "most relevant" boxes as first choices for the user.

Linking #25 since they are both related to having a list of boxes.

[kevinbluer]

Yeah I like the idea of having (default) sorting by most used / relevant. Perhaps along with a text based filter in the same way we have it in place to filter networks when deploying?

Also thanks for linking #25, I'll go ahead and consolidate this detail under there shortly.

cc @xhulz on this given it also ties into #25 which you're about to start work on. Let's discuss if any questions 👌

[xhulz]

Ok, thanks @kevinbluer!

Hey @kevinbluer and @acuarica

As suggested by you folks, i've moved the directory selection from the beginning of the flow to the end.
