generate library
ng generate libraryng generate libCreates a new library project in your Angular workspace. Libraries are reusable collections of components, services, and other Angular artifacts that can be shared across multiple applications. This schematic simplifies the process of generating a new library with the necessary files and configurations.
Arguments
nameThe name for the new library. This name will be used for the project directory and various identifiers within the library's code.
stringOptions
entry-fileThe path to the library's public API file, relative to the workspace root. This file defines what parts of the library are accessible to applications that import it.
stringDefaultpublic-apiprefixp A prefix to be added to the selectors of components generated within this library. For example, if the prefix is my-lib and you generate a component named my-component, the selector will be my-lib-my-component.
stringDefaultlibproject-rootThe root directory for the new library, relative to the workspace root. If not specified, the library will be created in a subfolder within the projects directory, using the library's name.
stringskip-installSkip the automatic installation of packages. You will need to manually install the dependencies later.
booleanDefaultfalseskip-package-jsonDo not automatically add dependencies to the package.json file.
booleanDefaultfalseskip-ts-configDo not update the workspace tsconfig.json file to add a path mapping for the new library. The path mapping is needed to use the library in an application, but can be disabled here to simplify development.
booleanDefaultfalsestandaloneCreate a library that utilizes the standalone API, eliminating the need for NgModules. This can simplify the structure of your library and its usage in applications.
