I would like to create a custom schematic for Angular that will create a file in the same directory as the schematic was executed from. I followed this article, but I'm not sure how I would get the new file to be added in the desired directory. (https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/02/13/angular-schematics#create-your-first-schematic) For example if I have the following directory structure: src/app/ !-- Angular Root |- modules |_ foo |- foo.component.ts |_ foo.component.html |- app.component.ts |- app.component.html |_ app.module.ts If I were do do the following commands: > cd /src/app/modules/foo > ng g my-component:my-component I would like the newly created/updated files to be inside the /src/app/modules/foo directory instead of the root directory. Think of how ng generate works. If I execute ng g component bar from inside the directory /src/app/modules/foo then a new component will be generated inside that directory. This is the behavior I need to replicate. Here's my factory. Right now it's obviously targeting the root directory with project.root however there isn't any alternative that I've found, and if I don't provide a path then I get an error. How do I get the current path (src/app/modules/foo) to store in options.path? export function setupOptions(host: Tree, options: any): Tree { const workspace = getWorkspace(host); if (!options.project) { options.project = Object.keys(workspace.projects)[0]; } const project = workspace.projects[options.project]; options.path = join(normalize(project.root), 'src'); return host; } // You don't have to export the function as default. You can also have more than one rule factory // per file. export function myComponent(_options: any): Rule { return (tree: Tree, _context: SchematicContext) => { setupOptions(tree, _options); const movePath = normalize(_options.path + '/'); const templateSource = apply(url('./files/src'), [ template({ ..._options }), move(movePath), forEach((fileEntry: FileEntry) => { if (tree.exists(fileEntry.path)) { tree.overwrite(fileEntry.path, fileEntry.content); } return fileEntry; }) ]); const rule = mergeWith(templateSource, MergeStrategy.Overwrite); return rule(tree, _context); }; } Continue reading...
