ng generate class <class-type> doesn't append ".model.ts" to files names

[francisoud]

As explain in various places in angularjs (v2.0.0-rc.4) guide (e.g https://angular.io/styleguide#!#04-06)
class are named "hero**.model**.ts"

running ng generate class hero
generate a hero.ts and a hero.spec.ts

You can either:

• append the missing '.model' or
• add an additionnal generation option:
  ng generate model <model-type>

OS: Microsoft Windows [version 6.1.7601]
Versions:

ng --version
angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.8
node: 6.2.1
os: win32 x64
npm --version => 3.10.3

You can choose using

ng generate class hero model

@francescopersico you're right, it works thanks ;)

>ng generate class hero model
  create src\app\hero.model.spec.ts
  create src\app\hero.model.ts

You should update the command line help to add an <options...> like the other command lines
Do you think appending .model should be the default behavior ?

>ng generate class --help
ng generate <blueprint> <options...>
  Generates new code from blueprints.
...
  Available blueprints
      **class <class-type>**
      component <name> <options...>
        --flat (Boolean) (Default: false)
...

We discussed this at the time and opted to not make default since there were lots of usecases for just having a class. It's true that the ng help documentation is lacking, but in this specific case we couldn't add it since it's a freeform arg.

I tried to create a model with following command but didn't work for me.

ng generate class hero model

$ ng version

@angular/cli: 1.1.0
node: 7.6.0
os: linux x64

[briancampo]

when using:
ng generate class hero model
it seems to be back to just creating the file as hero.ts in cli: 1.0.0

[goodlime]

ng generate class hero model --no-spec generates hero.ts instead of hero.model.ts

@angular/cli: 1.1.3
node: 8.0.0
os: darwin x64

@Devansh3790 @briancampo @goodlime I created a new issue to track the regression: #7121

[ramansdd]

ng g class contract-details model
