@nrwl/angular:application

Creates an Angular application.

Examples

Create an application named my-app:

nx g @nrwl/angular:application my-app

Usage

nx generate application ...
nx g app ... #same

By default, Nx will search for application in the default collection provisioned in workspace.json.

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

nx g @nrwl/angular:application ...

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

nx g application ... --dry-run
