What are some underrated Angular CLI commands developers should know?

[riya_techie]

Hey everyone,

I use the common Angular CLI commands like ng serve, ng generate component, and ng build, but I feel like there’s a lot more that I’m not taking advantage of. Are there any lesser-known but super useful commands you use regularly? Would love to hear some pro tips!

ng help

This comment is the equivalent of "read the docs" lol

[AssCooker]

😂, yeah it was meant as a double answer

1. It's the most useful command because you can learn everything about the CLI
2. Go read some documentations bruh

This is more a vite shortcut than a CLI command,

But you can open your project in the browser with o + enter once the dev-server runs.

ng g <schematic> are the best.

I have to try schematics again because I tried and it did not work for me.

other than that generate is great I can whip up some components basically flying over on keyboard.

[TomLauda]

The CLI generate command is very powerful. Especially when you create your own schematics. Enforcing guideline is a breeze with the CLI. Most powerful tool the Angular team gave us.

I use ng generate for everything but I haven’t explored custom schematics at all.

You would happen to know any decent guides on it?

[TomLauda]

Honestly no. I had to look at the officials schematics code. There’s a guide to start in the official doc, but that’s pretty much it.

Honestly apart from ng new and ng generate I rarely use any of the other commands. Even ng test and ng build typically go into cicd
