Does cabal has a `yarn add` or `npm i`

lets say I want to add a package, umm lets say text , so now if I want to add it, I have to manually make entries in the .cabal file.
Is there a way we can do that via the simple interface cabal add <package-name> ?
it can maybe prompt us to add it in which components, if all, or if some of them?

First, outside of project directory, run

cabal install cabal-add

Then you can

cabal-add text

or (for sufficiently new Cabal) just

cabal add text

Why isn’t this built into cabal? Or it will come sometime ?
