Angular CLI - ng generate

Generate or modify application files through Angular schematics.

How it works

ng generate (ng g) invokes a schematic such as component, service, guard, or library. Use --dry-run to preview changes, select the correct project in a multi-project workspace, and review generated code before committing it.

Good practice

• Check the local Angular CLI version and run commands from the intended workspace.
• Review angular.json targets and builders before assuming optional commands are configured.
• Use the package manager and lockfile selected by the project.
• Review generated files, configuration changes, and build output before committing or deploying.
