ng: Add a new component to one's application.
$ ng generate component ${component_name}
try on your machine
This is a command for generating a new component in an Angular application using Angular CLI (Command Line Interface).
Here's a breakdown of the command:
ng
: It is the keyword to execute the Angular CLI commands.generate
: It is a sub-command used to generate different code artifacts like components, services, modules, etc.component
: This is the specific generator that creates a new component. Thecomponent
keyword is followed by the name of the component to be generated.${component_name}
: This is a placeholder for the actual name of the component you want to generate. You need to replace${component_name}
with the desired name of your component, in camelCase format.
For example, if you want to generate a component named "exampleComponent", you would execute the command: ng generate component exampleComponent
.
Executing this command will generate all the necessary files and folders required for the component, such as the TypeScript file (.ts), HTML template (.html), CSS/SCSS style file (.css/.scss), and a test file if configured.
