We use plop.js to generate angular components in our app (in the future we might use it for other things).
in order to create a component with the name exampleComponent, go in your terminal to the folder in which you want to create the component (for example, if I want to create it in the portainer module components, I'll go to ./app/portainer/components). then execute the following line:
yarn plop exampleComponent
this will create the following files and folders:
example-component/index.js - the component file
example-component/exampleComponent.html - the template file
example-component/exampleComponentController.js - the component controller file
