Desired behavior

It would be nice to be able to use the --inline-styles and --inline-templates flags on the ng generate appShell command. I have all the rest of my app generated with inline templates and styles so it is weird that I can't do that with the app-shell as well.

This is not a bad idea, thanks for submitting.

hi @alan-agius4 , is this something still needed/ nice to be added to the schematics? If so would we like to have display-block also added to the list next to inline-template and inline-styles

I am inclining towards leaving this out for the following reasons;

1. You can configure these options in the in the angular.json.
2. Community demand/response has been very low for this.
3. Increasing code complexity and API surface.
4. Unlike a component an app-shell is only generated one time, and hence It's trivial to change.
