I want to be able to create components or modules or services in folder external to /src/app/...
so i've tried with ng g c ../mco/lib but it fail.
I want to be able to create with the CLI a component in folder external to app.
how can i achieve this ?
You can change the appRoot of AngularCli, so in angular-cli.json i've added in "apps" array, a property "appRoot": "mco"
You can just define the right path and the angular-cli will get everything ready for you, for example if you want the component to be build outside app folder on a example folder you can try ng g c ../example/yourComponent
For those who finds appRoot is not working on @angular/cli 6. Here is a workaround:
{
"projects": {
"my-project": {
"root": "/path/to/project",
"projectType": "application",
"schematics": {
"@schematics/angular:component": {
"path": "/path/to/project"
},
"@schematics/angular:directive": {
"path": "/path/to/project"
},
"@schematics/angular:module": {
"path": "/path/to/project"
},
"@schematics/angular:service":{
"path": "/path/to/project"
},
"@schematics/angular:pipe": {
"path": "/path/to/project"
},
"@schematics/angular:class": {
"path": "/path/to/project"
}
}
}
}
Now you can run
ng g component hello-world --project=my-project --dry-run
to check if the hello-world is output to /path/to/project/hello-world.
Change the appRoot of AngularCli.
So in angular-cli.json
"apps": [
{
"root": "src",
"outDir": "dist",
"test": "test.ts",
"tsconfig": "tsconfig.app.json",
"testTsconfig": "tsconfig.spec.json",
"prefix": "tr",
"appRoot": "mco"
}
],
I'm not sure if this feature exists in Angular CLI. Assuming you are in src/app directory you can just create component in default location and then move it to desired place like this:
ng g c my-component; mv my-component /Users/username/desiredlocation/
