1. Creating a Apex class: sfdx scdx:code:create -t apex -d ./test/t1 -v apiVersion=48.0,objectName=ApplicationService

This command will create a class in the current directory.

 The following files are created:
  test\t1\ApplicationService.cls
  test\t1\ApplicationServiceTest.cls
  test\t1\ApplicationService.cls-meta.xml
  test\t1\ApplicationServiceTest.cls-meta.xml

This command will create a class in the current directory.

The following files are created:
  test\t1\BrandTriggerHandler.cls
  test\t1\BrandTrigger.cls
  test\t1\Brandtrigger.cls-meta.xml
  test\t1\BrandtriggerHandler.cls-meta.xml
  test\t1\BrandAction.cls
