Setting selector prefix with Angular CLI

If you run this well known Angular CLI command

to create a new angular project, your selector prefix is set to

selector: 'app-root',

If you want to have another name instead of app, like f.e. the company name, you can go to the Angular CLI JSON and changing the prefix from app to companyname.

"prefix": "app",

"prefix": "companyname",

So if you create a new component with CLI, it will get companyname instead of app at the selector.
But this has no effect on the existing components. Of course you can change the name manually. But the best way is, to set the prefix right from the start.

The CLI comand for this is simple but effiktive.

That's all. Have fun at your Angular projects

Typescript: json2ts is a nice helper

Writing interfaces can be annoying. You can save a lot of time when you have to define Typescript interfaces for data that you are loading from a webservice. Instead of typing all the interfaces yourself you can just use a nice service in the web: json2ts Just paste in your json code and it generates the corresponding interfaces in Typescripts. Example JSON: [ { "city": "Berlin", "country": "Germany", "currencies": [{"code":"EUR"}] }, { "city": "Paris", "country": "France", "currencies": [{"code":"EUR"}] } ] Generated code: declare module namespace { export interface Currency { code: string; } export interface RootObject { city: string; country: string; currencies: Currency...
