Angular File Generator VSCode Extension
VSCode Extension to generate boilerplate files for Angular Modules, Components, etc...
Why use it? Customization to fit your needs!
While the default ng or nx generator is great, this allows you to customize your new generated files to fit your workflow without having to delete or add repetitively to the generated files.

Custom Templates
- Set the
customTemplateFolder config to your custom template folder.
- See the default templates for reference.
- File naming should be
__name__.KEYWORD.EXTENSION.mustache where KEYWORD is one of component, module or service. EXTENSION should reflect the file type and subtype, such as spec.ts for typescript tests.
- Additional files with
KEYWORD will also be rendered.
Example: __name__.component.scss.mustache does not have a default template, but will be rendered if included in the user's custom template folder.
- Available variables examples
{{componentPrefix}} - app{{dashCaseName}} - new-module{{upperCamelCaseName}} - NewModule{{constantCaseName}} - NEW_MODULE{{upperReadableName}} - New Module
Requirements
Generator creates the files from custom templates, so nothing is needed to create the files.
