Allow creating applications and libraries in separate folders for better project structure.

[ V ] Feature request

Currently both applications and libraries placed in same directory. And there is only one config for this: newProjectRoot

Please add another one: newLibraryRoot - if set, libraries would be stored there.

It would be nice to define the directory/folder as a generate option:

ng g library foo -d libs/datelibs/
ng g library bar -d libs/layoutlibs/
ng g application -d projects/mysubapp

[ph55]

Just figured out that you could generate libraries with namespace. For example:

ng g library @namespace/xxx ng g library @namespace/yyy

Will generate two libraries with following structure

@ (at sign) is required for namespace.

For some reason it's not mentioned in wiki. https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/wiki/generate

@filipesilva Should be documented, don't you think ?

@filipesilva this should definitely be documented. can you maybe promote from your backlog?

It will a good feature, so developers can easily understand libs and projects (i.e application).

Thank you for submitting your feature request! Looks like during the polling process it didn't collect a sufficient number of votes to move to the next stage.

We want to keep Angular rich and ergonomic and at the same time be mindful about its scope and learning journey. If you think your request could live outside Angular's scope, we'd encourage you to collaborate with the community on publishing it as an open source package.
