@nx/angular:component

Creates a new Angular component.

Examples

Create a component named my-component:

1nx g @nx/angular:component apps/my-app/src/lib/my-component/my-component 2

Usage

1nx generate component ... 2
1nx g c ... #same 2

By default, Nx will search for component in the default collection provisioned in workspace.json.

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

1nx g @nx/angular:component ... 2

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

1nx g component ... --dry-run 2
