Add configuration option to generate files with PascalCase instead of the default naming convention
I'm submitting a...
- [x] Feature request
Current behavior
As of now, if I generate a new file with nest g, its is named name.type.ts (e.g. my.module.ts).
I'd like the tool to create a file named NameType.ts (e.g. MyModule.ts) so that it matches the name of the class it contains.
Expected behavior
Ideally, a fileNameCase configuration option in nest-cli.json of type "dot" | "pascal" | "camel" | "snake" | "kebab" would be nice.
Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions
nest g mo my generates a file named my.module.ts
What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
All of my company source files are named with the same name as the classes that they include. It's a common convention we see in a lot of OOP projects.
Side-demand. It would be nice to also support naming test files with .test.ts instead of .spec.ts via a testFileExtension option too.

We're tracking this here https://github.com/nestjs/schematics/issues/143
If a fileNameCase is introduced, should it only affect filenames, as suggested by the option name? What about directory names, if you specify that in the generate command, such as nest g controller auth-dir/users_dir/users --no-spec?
Should there also be introduced a directoryNameCase option? or should it just be a nameCase option that affect both files and directories?
Something like https://www.npmjs.com/package/change-case could help implement the solution without having to worry about correct case convertions
this would be a very nice addition. having to switch to kabob case is a huge pain for our team
Hi, is this issue still on going? I need this feature (with camelcase) and want to take a look if it's still valid. @kamilmysliwiec
@kamilmysliwiec can you point me to the code which generates the files? I want to try implementing support for file names in PascalCase. 🙂
@bennycode all templates lives here: https://github.com/nestjs/schematics and are chosen here: https://github.com/nestjs/nest-cli/blob/master/actions/generate.action.ts
I started working on a draft PR for this feature. @kamilmysliwiec or @micalevisk I would love some feedback!
