NG Generate

Angular - ng generate reference

The Angular CLI command ng generate is used to generate new code files for an Angular application. The ng generate command can create new components, services, directives, pipes, modules, classes, interfaces, enums, and guards based on Angular’s best practices and conventions. Using ng generate can save developers time and effort by automatically generating the boilerplate code needed to create new application features.

Here’s an updated table with a more detailed description of what each ng generate action is used for:
