Creating a Component

The easiest way to create a component is with the React CLI. You can also create a component manually.

Creating a component using the React CLI

To create a component using the React CLI:

1. From a terminal window, navigate to the directory containing your application
2. Run the generate-react-cli component <component-name> command, where <component-name> is the name of your new component.

generate-react-cli component <component-name>

By default, this command creates the following:

• A folder named after the component
• A component file, <component-name>.component
• A template file, <component-name>.component.js
• A CSS file, <component-name>.component.css
• A testing specification file, <component-name>.component.spec.ts

Where <component-name> is the name of your component.
