generate component

The name for the new component. This will be used to create the component's class, template, and stylesheet files. For example, if you provide my-component, the files will be named my-component.component.ts, my-component.component.html, and my-component.component.css.

Configures the change detection strategy for the component.

Adds :host { display: block; } to the component's stylesheet, ensuring the component renders as a block-level element. This is useful for layout purposes.

Automatically export the component from the specified NgModule, making it accessible to other modules in the application.

Use a default export for the component in its TypeScript file instead of a named export.

Create the component files directly in the project's src/app directory instead of creating a new folder for them.

Include the component's styles directly in the component.ts file. By default, a separate stylesheet file (e.g., my-component.component.css) is created.

Include the component's HTML template directly in the component.ts file. By default, a separate template file (e.g., my-component.component.html) is created.

Specify the NgModule where the component should be declared. If not provided, the CLI will attempt to find the closest NgModule in the component's path.

A prefix to be added to the component's selector. For example, if the prefix is app and the component name is my-component, the selector will be app-my-component.

The name of the project where the component should be added. If not specified, the CLI will determine the project from the current directory.

The HTML selector to use for this component. If not provided, a selector will be generated based on the component name (e.g., app-my-component).

Do not automatically import the new component into its closest NgModule.

Skip the generation of an HTML selector for the component.

Skip the generation of unit test files spec.ts.

Generate a standalone component. Standalone components are self-contained and don't need to be declared in an NgModule. They can be used independently or imported directly into other standalone components.

Specify the type of stylesheet to be created for the component, or none to skip creating a stylesheet.

Append a custom type to the component's filename. For example, if you set the type to container, the file will be named my-component.container.ts.

Sets the view encapsulation mode for the component. This determines how the component's styles are scoped and applied.
