Please create ng g b folder/path

[johnpapa]

When we create a sub-folder, we should have a barrel. Sometimes we manually create folders either because we want to or because the CLI can't do it for us (nested folder for a set of shared/service). In this case we may want a barrel. I propose we add ng g b shared/path which would create index.ts in that folder, and export the stuff there already.

I did this for ZSH

function ng-folder {
 if [[ $# != 0 ]]
 then
 local argPath="$1"
 mkdir "$argPath" && touch "$argPath/index.ts" && mkdir "$argPath/shared" && touch "$argPath/shared/index.ts"
 fi
}

but still need to add barrel manually =))

[johnpapa]

yes, that's neat ... but i think it would be cool if we had this in the CLI so it can add the barrel too.

[serhiisol]

agree, +1 =)

if it helps I've written my own replacement for the cli barrel-management, which will crawl up the parent folders making sure there is a barrel file when you add a file. I'm using it with my own custom blueprints.

@johnpapa is it still relevant after the ngModules addition?

Closed as obsolete. If that's not the case, tell me and I will reopen.
