Custom Prefix for Directives

[aggarwalankush]

Hi,

Is there any way to use prefix defined in angular-cli.json with directives?
It's recommended in Angular 2 guidelines

System details:

• OS
  Max OSX El Capitan
• Versions.

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.11-webpack.2
node: 6.1.0
os: darwin x64

• Repro steps
  ng g d myDirective

-Thanks

We try to be styleguide compliant so this should be addressed.

@Brocco can you have a look?

Thoughts on whether this prefix should be the same as the one being used for component selectors?

[filipesilva]

Good point actually. The style shows a component selector as toh-hero, but a directive as tohValidate. Core stuff like ngIf are also camelCase, so I'd say the prefix should be the same as components but the selector should be camelCase instead.

[Brocco]

Directive names do not get "case changed" if a user specifies a name of myDiReCtIvE then it currently spits out a selector of [myDiReCtIvE] but with this change for this issue they would get [tohmyDiReCtIvE] as the selector

ugh, that is problematic, yes... I don't have a good solution to that tbh :/

@Brocco may be let user specify a command line option to not prefix(--np). Also, this option can be quite useful, user may not want to prefix some of the components or directives.
