Creating Other Things

The CLI can scaffold other Angular entities such as services, pipes and directives using the generate command.

ng generate [entity] [entity-name]

This creates the entity at src/app/[entity-name].[entity].ts along with a spec file, or at the current path if the command is executed in a child folder of the project. The CLI provides blueprints for the following entities out of the box:

Item	Command	Files generated
Component:	ng g component [name]	component, HTML, CSS, test spec files
Directive:	ng g directive [name]	component, test spec files
Pipe:	ng g pipe [name]	component, test spec files
Service:	ng g service [name]	component, test spec files
Class:	ng g class [name]	component, test spec files
Route:	ng g route [name]	component, HTML, CSS, test spec files (in new folder)
