Actually, there is an undocumented option in .angular-cli.json
called appRoot
which is probably you're looking for.
@PoiScript is right, there's appRoot
options for this, see https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/7775.
Using appRoot
leads to an error "Workspace needs to be loaded before it is used."
and is not included in the json-schema for angular.json.
@leonadler appRoot
is used for angular cli 1.x project. angular cli 6 introduces a new configuration schema. Each projects now has individual root
and sourceRoot
options, see https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/wiki/angular-workspace
ng generate is adding app to the path by default. How to remove 'app' ? "root": "", "sourceRoot": "ui-lib/src", "projectType": "library",
ng g module dashboard/widget -d CREATE src/app/dashboard/widget/widget.module.spec.ts (275 bytes) CREATE src/app/dashboard/widget/widget.module.ts (190 bytes)
I'm having the same issue as @jacobjojan, every time I run ng generate
it generates by default in app folder, I want to generate out of app folder, how to do that?
@wasif-digitalnet what about
ng generate module ../my-module
CREATE src/my-module/my-module.module.spec.ts (292 bytes)
CREATE src/my-module/my-module.module.ts (192 bytes)
@giolf I have tried it, I guess there was some issues while generating the project, I made a new project and it's working fine now,
@wasif-digitalnet probably you run that command in a nested folder of your project ?
Anyway I’m glad to hear that you could solve it
@giolf Your solution worked... Cheers!
@ilivestrong Cool
This problem is still unresolved.
We have a code-base similar to Angular Material, where the library modules folders are directly beneath the main library folder.
We have recently replaced our custom build systems in favor of the Angular CLI, but when using the ng generate
commands, they automatically add either app
or lib
depending on the project type (application or library).
Why can't this be configurable? Why isn't "sourceRoot" the literal root?
Just a heads up that we kicked off a community voting process for your feature request. There are 20 days until the voting process ends.
Find more details about Angular's feature request process in our documentation.
Thank you for submitting your feature request! Looks like during the polling process it didn't collect a sufficient number of votes to move to the next stage.
We want to keep Angular rich and ergonomic and at the same time be mindful about its scope and learning journey. If you think your request could live outside Angular's scope, we'd encourage you to collaborate with the community on publishing it as an open source package.
You can find more details about the feature request process in our documentation.
Our project setup doesn't have an immediate sub-folder of app, however, it appears that running ng generate always assume that you have an
app
folder under the app root folder you specified in .angular-cli.jsonVersions
Repro steps
Observed behavior
You'll see the output path always assumes an
app
folder:Desired behavior
I'd like an option to be able to configure whether your project has the
app
folder or not. Or maybe an option to configure the whole path the component gets created in.
