How to generate components in a specific folder with angular-cli?

Question

I am using angualr4 with angular-cli and I am able to create new component with the following command.

E:\HiddenWords>ng generate component plainsight

But I need to generate a child component inside plainsight. Is there a way to do with angular-cli?

Answer 1

The ng g component plainsight/some-name makes a new directory when we use it.

The final output will be:

plainsight/some-name/some-name.component.ts

To avoid that, make use of the flat option ng g component plainsight/some-name --flat and it will generate the files without making a new folder

plainsight/some-name.component.ts
