I recently started implementing lazy loading in my application. I was wondering whether there is any way to create a routing.module.ts while generating a new module in angular-cli application other than creating it manually?

I was searching about this a bit and found some article which has a very good explanation for different kind of commands.

The Ultimate Angular CLI Reference

So basically, there's no separate command to create routing.module file. But, that can be created while on the creation of the module:

ng generate module [module-name] --routing

or the shorthand version of the command:

ng g m [module-name] --routing

... will create the module and add the mappings/metadata linkings.

    Hi Saiyaff Farouk, the above command creates both module.ts and routing.module.ts together at the same. Is it possible to generate routing.module.ts alone since I already have one module.ts . – Dhana Jul 31 '20 at 17:14

    @Dhana I don't think that can be possible with a command for the scenario of 'Is it possible to generate routing.module.ts alone since I already have one module.ts'. To overcome this you can try writing your own schematic. But, let me do a bit of a further research and see whether what you want is available already in any sorta forms – Saiyaff Farouk Aug 04 '20 at 21:01
  • You can generate `my-routing.module.ts` for an existing `my.module.ts` with `ng generate module my-routing --module my --flat`. Then add `RouterModule` to the new routing module as shown in [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44990030/how-to-add-a-routing-module-to-an-existing-module-in-angular-cli-version-1-1-1/54635253). – Eric Eskildsen Dec 19 '22 at 16:10

  • it's better to create only routing files in that you've forgotten while generate the module – Rohit Jan 05 '23 at 09:16

Late but very useful.

ng g m about --module app --route about

The above command will generate about module with about component and add lazy load route at app module for routing about route.

    Indeed very helpful - although i faced *"Couldn't find a route declaration in /src/app/app.module.ts"* in the first place, when using your command like this. What finally helped was passing the full file name of the app's routing module: `--module app.routing.ts`. Got the hint from https://stackoverflow.com/a/69779475/12924116. – w0l-g0r Feb 11 '22 at 09:25

I am late to the party :) but here is how I generate a module, routing for the module and component all at one go and inside the same directory

From the src/app/ directory type in the following command to generate a module, routing and component called 'my-page'

ng g m my-page --routing=true && ng g c my-page --skip-tests=true -m=my-page

If you want the tests to be generated then do not use the skip-tests argument.

Creates both module and routing simultaneously in the same folder.

ng g m sub-folder/module-name --routing

Creates the only module.

ng g m  sub-folder/module-name

To create a module with routing(lazy load importing), module routing, and a component that loaded at your routing you can write by following the syntax

ng g m [myModule_name] --route [myRoute_path_name] --module [routing_module_name]

Example :

ng g m public --route public --module app

enter image description here

  1. To generate component: ng g c componanentName or ng g c sub-folder/componentName
  2. To generate module or routing module use: ng g m sub-folder/moduleName --routing

You can use

// module and routing
-> ng g m name --routing

// component with module and routing
-> ng g c name && ng g m name --routing
-> ng g m name --routing && ng g c name -m=name`

1-if you want generate a routing in a folder:

ng g m [modelNme] --routing

2-if you want to generate a routing in the same folder:

ng g m [modelName] --flat --routing --modele=app

3-generate a componenet with model routing:

ng g c [modelName] && ng g m [modelName] --routing

You can generate a module, routing, and component all at one go like this:

ng g m vast-urls --routing=true && ng g c vast-urls --skip-tests=true -m=vast-urls
