:rocket: ngx-rocket/cli

CLI for creating Angular apps with ngX-Rocket generators.

Leverage ngX-Rocket generator with community add-ons and improve your developer experience. From scaffolding to deployment, use this CLI to accelerate your workflow. You can also make your very own add-on directly from the CLI, to make your next project even faster!

  --automate <json_file>      Automate prompt answers using JSON file.

u, update

Generating and serving a project via a development server

ngx new
npm start

Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

To get more information about generated project, see ngX-Rocket generator.

Note: any ngX-Rocket generator option can be used with ngx new or ngx update.

Updating an existing project

Make you have no uncommitted changes in your project folder, then:

ngx update

The simplest and safest way is then to overwrite everything in case of conflict, then use your SCM to revert/merge changes one file at once.

Managing add-ons

ngX-Rocket add-ons are additional generators running on top of ngX-Rocket generator that complement or modify the project template.

Listing available add-ons

Use ngx list to show currently installed add-ons on the system.

To show add-ons available for installation, use npm list --npm.

Disabling specific add-ons

By default all installed add-ons are used for new projects. However, you selectively enable or disable add-ons using ngx config.

Creating a new add-on

You can use the command ngx new --addon to create a new ngX-Rocket add-on. See ngx-rocket/core for the complete documentation about add-on creation.

Running scripts from package.json

In a generated project folder, you can use the command ngx <script> to run any package.json script. This is only a convenience shortcut, it works exactly like npm run <script>, except that you do need to add -- to pass arguments to the underlying command.

For example in a ngX-Rocket project you can use these commands:

ngx start --env=prod
ngx generate component myComponent --module myModule
ngx build --build-optimizer

Instead of typing the full script name, you can also type only the first letters:

ngx s --env=prod
ngx g component myComponent --module myModule
ngx b --build-optimizer

If there is more than one script matching, the first one will be used. You can then use any number of additional letters to discriminate the script you want to run.
