[Question]: how about generating outside default blueprint dir?

[danielpiedra]

@tomastrajan I am new to schematics world and I am wondering if there's a way to generate my feature modules outside the default blueprint "src/app" of angular cli without having to create a 'copy' of default schematics to generate in a different location...

thanks in advance!

Hi @danielpiedra !

First of all this is not a official repository just my future efforts to create more schematics so that it doesn't create confusion.

For your question, there is a issue about this in angular cli repo.

It looks like you can customize root and appRoot, properties in angular-cli.json so that you can support different folders than src/app but that's for all cases. Don't know if its possible to generate in src/app by default and only generate elsewhere on demand.

Cheers!

Hey @tomastrajan, no confusion there! hope you can forgive my intrusive question above, I couldn't find a clear source so when I found this repo I thought I may ask you.

Furthermore, thanks for the tips on "appRoot", that was the part of the puzzle I was missing.

I was able to make it work for my requirements by just setting "appRoot": ".", now the generate command takes a relative path from "src" which is just what i wanted. e.g "ng g m test" => generates test module under src while "ng g m app/test" will generate it under the app directory.

Cheers!
