Create component to specific module with Angular-CLI

Question

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 componen

Answer 1

Read the description of --route https://angular.io/cli/generate#module-command,

To archive such, you must add the route of that component-module to somewhere and specify the route name.

   ng generate module component-name --module=any-parent-module --route=route-path

Answer 2

1. First, you generate a module by executing.

ng g m modules/media

this will generate a module called media inside modules folder.

2. Second, you generate a component added to this module

ng g c modules/media/picPick --module=modules/media/media.module.ts

the first part of the command ng g c modules/media/picPick will generate a component folder called picPick inside modules/media folder witch contain our new media module.

the second part will make our new picPick component declared in media module by importing it in the module file and appending it to declarations array of this module.

I ran into this issue today while scaffolding an Angular 9 application. I got the "module does not exist error" whenever I added the .module.ts or .module to the module name. The cli only needs the name of the module with no extension. Assuming I had a module name: brands.module.ts, the command I used was

ng g c path/to/my/components/brands-component -m brands --dry-run

remove the --dry-run once you've confirmed the file structure is correct.

1. You can generate a Module using ng generate module <module name>.
2. Then use this command to generate a component related to that module, ng generate component <component name> --module=<module name>

A common pattern is to create a feature with a route, a lazy loaded module, and a component.

Route: myapp.com/feature

app-routing.module.ts

{ path: 'feature', loadChildren: () => import('./my-feature/my-feature.module').then(m => m.MyFeatureModule) },

File structure:

app   
└───my-feature
│   │   my-feature-routing.module.ts
│   │   my-feature.component.html
│   │   my-feature.component.css
│   │   my-feature.component.spec.ts
│   │   my-feature.component.ts
│   │   my-feature.module.ts

This can all be done in the cli with:

ng generate module my-feature --module app.module --route feature

Or shorter

ng g m my-feature --module app.module --route feature

Or if you leave out the name the cli will prompt you for it. Very useful when you need to create several features

ng g m --module app.module --route feature

Make a module, service and component in particular module

Basic:

    ng g module chat     
    ng g service chat/chat -m chat
    ng g component chat/chat-dialog -m chat

    In chat.module.ts:
        exports: [ChatDialogComponent],
        providers: [ChatService]

    In app.module.ts:

        imports: [
            BrowserModule,
            ChatModule
        ]

    Now in app.component.html:
        <chat-dialog></chat-dialog>
