Angular-cli: Create a route module when generating a module

[mhmo91]

Routing_module

According to angular documentation, it's considered the best practice to add routing module for each module, so my suggestion is, when generating a module, i think it makes sense to create a route module for it.

update

Because it's not usually the case, may be another command like
ng g module routing x instead of ng g module x
Namaste

Have you tried the --routing flag when generating a module? This will generate you a some.module.ts and some-routing.module.ts file.

ng generate module SomeModule --routing (or ng g m SomeModule --routing, for short)

Additionally, @Brocco has a PR out there to move the docs to the repo https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/3382

And if I need the html , scss annd the component of this ?

Hi @delasteve, I tried using your method for generating routing module. But it seems like it doesn't do the trick. I have another just-module.ts file in my directory. When I try to generate routing module, the latest versioned angular-cli I am using throws me an error of already-existing-module inside the directory.

@waleedshkt If the module already exists, the CLI will throw errors. Just delete that file and then run the command again with the --routing flag.

@josephdgb1996 You just generate a component with the same name as your module. Using the example @delasteve gave you'd just run ng generate component SomeModule.

ng g m moduleName --routing

ng generate module SomeModule --routing (or ng g m SomeModule --routing, for short)

Thanks. Did not know such command exists. This works perfect !

@josephdgb1996 module does not have html or scss.
module has components wich has the html and stylesheets like css, scss, etc...
