@Controller()
export class NameController {
    public constructor() {}
}

• src/app/controllers/<assetName>.controller.spec.ts
• src/app/modules/[moduleName]/modules/controllers/<assetName>.controller.spec.ts
• src/app/modules/[moduleName1]>/modules/[moduleName2]>/modules/[moduleName3]>/controllers/<assetName>.controller.spec.ts

import {NameController} from './name.controller';
import {expect} from 'chai';

describe('NameController', () => {
    const controller: NameController;

    beforeEach(() => {
        Test.createTestingModule({
            controllers: [
                NameController
            ]
        });

        controller = Test.get(NameController);
    });

    it('should exists', () => {
        expect(controller).to.exist;
    });
}

component

Examples :

• $ nest generate component <assetName> OR $ nest g component <assetName>
• $ nest g component <assetName> [moduleName]
• $ nest g component <assetName> [moduleName1/moduleName2/moduleName3] Creates a templated component files :
• src/app/services/<assetName>.service.ts
• src/app/modules/[moduleName]/modules/services/<assetName>.controller.ts
• src/app/modules/[moduleName1]>/modules/[moduleName2]>/modules/[moduleName3]>/services/<assetName>.service.ts

@Component()
export class NameService {
    constructor() {}
}

• src/app/services/<assetName>.service.spec.ts
• src/app/modules/[moduleName]/modules/services/<assetName>.service.spec.ts
• src/app/modules/[moduleName1]>/modules/[moduleName2]>/modules/[moduleName3]>/services/<assetName>.service.spec.ts

import {NameService} from './name.service';
import {expect} from 'chai';

describe('NameService', () => {
    const service: NameService;

    beforeEach(() => {
        Test.createTestingModule({
            components: [
                NameService
            ]
        });

        service = Test.get(NameService);
    });

    it('should exists', () => {
