Is there a way to selectively export specific relevant configuration into custom modules?

Question

I'm learning D8 and gaining familiarity with the configuration management aspects of drush.

All my configuration is exported into my config/sync directory and I cherry picked the relevant files and moved them into a config/install under my custom modules.

However, I'm having trouble when I had to rebuild my site due to some vagrant issues and I came across the following type of errors:

Unable to install Questions due to unmet dependencies: field.field.node.quiz.field_questions (node.type.quiz), views.view.quizes (node.type.quiz, rest, serialization)

Is there a way to selectively export specific relevant configuration into my custom modules directly?

Answer 1

I would use the awesome features module as a base to export complex configurations that contain multiple dependencies as a base of my new module and then start building my custom functionality. All major distributions are using features module as it saves a lot of time and it is very reliable.
