Possible to specify which canisters to run a given command?

[atengberg]

Hello, thanks for the very useful project.

Is it possible to pass commands to mo-dev so that only specific canisters are included?

For instance, mo-dev generate will also generate the declarations for the internet_identity canister that's declared in the dfx.json but whose declarations are not needed (similarly they will be generated for a frontend canister).

One solution could be to use mo-dev --deploy --exec 'dfx generate my_canister'. Since generating all bindings is the usual behavior for dfx projects, I'll see if we can make it possible to specify the default canisters in the dfx.json file.

I opened a discussion about this here: dfinity/sdk#3173.
