@nrwl/angular:component

Creates a new, generic Angular component definition in the given or default project.

Examples

Create a component named my-component:

nx g @nrwl/angular:component my-component

Usage

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

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

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

nx g @nrwl/angular:component ...

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

nx g component ... --dry-run
