How to generate your classes in a specific folder with Angula2 CLI?

angular, angular-cli

Solution

Generated items for the Angular CLI are relative...

if you are in the root dir (or the source dir) you are perceived to be in the app dir...

~/me/foo > ng g c bar
// ~/me/foo/src/app/bar/bar.component*

~/me/foo/src > ng g c bar
// ~/me/foo/src/app/bar/bar.component*

if you are in the app directory or further down the folder structure you will generate to where you are...

~/me/foo/src/app/feature > ng g c bar
// ~/me/foo/src/app/feature/bar/bar.component*

~/me/foo/src/app/feature > ng g c ../bar
// ~/me/foo/src/app/bar/bar.component*

Note: if you try to generate into a dir that does not exist, it will error...

~/me/foo/src/app > ng g c a/b/c/d/e/f/g/bar
// Error

Problem

I usually generate classes with the angular 2 cli with the following command: `ng g class todo` How can I tell the cli to generate the classes in a particular folder, for example a models folder. The documentation has an example where they generate a component in a specific folder but I've had no success with the class option I've tried the following options: `ng g class models/todo` `ng g class ../models todo` `ng g class models todo` They result in either an error that the path is invalid, which makes me think that the option is supported but I can't figure it out or in the case of the latter merges the intended folder name with the class name.
