Description
I know command node-gyp configure -- -f xcode can generate .xcodeproj file but I'm not sure how to do the same with rebuild command.
I'm asking this because I'd like to build electron native module alone following guide
https://www.electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/using-native-node-modules#manually-building-for-electron
but it turns out the build folder does not have .xcodeproj

Research direction
Start with the node-gyp rebuild command and compare it with node-gyp configure -- -f xcode. Reproduce the build described in the Electron native Node modules guide and inspect whether the build folder contains an .xcodeproj file. Done means documenting or clarifying how to generate that project when rebuilding an Electron native module.
