Configure vs build presets

Usage
1

I’m trying to express the difference between Configure and Build presets, other than the obvious fact that they are used at configuration and build time.

Is there a good explanation of this in the documentation?

Our typical workflow is:

cmake -G Ninja -D PROJECT_VARIANT= …/…
ninja -v

What is the syntax for replacing these commands with cmake commands that specify presets?

The first line would be a configure preset. You can specify "generator": "Ninja" and "cacheVariables": { "PROJECT_VARIANT": ".../..." }.

The second line would be a build preset. You can specify "verbose": true.
