I'm starting to use angular-cli and I've already read a lot to find an answer about what I want to do...no success, so I came here.
Is there a way to create a component to a new module?
e.g.: ng g module newModule
ng g component newComponent
(how to add this component to newModule??)
because the angular-cli default behavior is to put all new components inside app.module
. I would like to choose where my component will be, so that I can create separated modules and won't have all my components inside app.module
. It is possible to do that using angular-cli or do I have to do this manually?
To create a component as part of a module you should
ng g module newModule
to generate a module,cd newModule
to change directory into the newModule
folderng g component newComponent
to create a component as a child of the module.UPDATE: Angular 9
Now it doesn't matter what folder you are in when generating the component.
ng g module NewModule
to generate a module.ng g component new-module/new-component
to create NewComponent.Note: When the Angular CLI sees new-module/new-component, it understands and translates the case to match new-module -> NewModule
and new-component -> NewComponent
. It can get confusing in the beginning, so easy way is to match the names in #2 with the folder names for the module and component.
