Repro steps.

ng generate component helloTest
|_ app/src/hello-test/hello-test.component.ts

Desired functionality.

What would like to see implemented?

• I would like to see the file structure and fileName reflect what the component is called.
  What is the usecase?
• Large scale companies like to keep the naming construction the same as their existing platform and use camelcase or pascalcase (HelloTest) .

The name option for the generate command represents the name of the actual component/service/etc. not the filename of said item.
Please note also that the CLI follows the Angular Style Guide: https://angular.io/guide/styleguide

@clydin Yes I know. But is there a way to customize the file name creation so it doesn't use dashes (-) and uses a custom file naming structure.
Ex:
ng generate component HelloWorld
creates the HelloWorldComponent, but the file of the component is hello-world.component.(ts,css,html)

I would the same command ng generate component HelloWorld create the exported component HelloWorldComponent, but the file that holds the component HelloWorld.component.(ts,css,html).

Can a flag be made for the generate to create corresponding file naming.

Ex: ng generate component --file-naming HelloWorld
HelloWorld.component.ts and the exported component is HelloWorldComponent

A flag could be made to do this. But the bigger/better solution is a custom blueprint engine which is currently being worked on for future versions.

[LmKupke]

@Brocco Have you already implemented a custom blueprint engine? If so is there any documentation I can look at?
