[FEATURE] - Add Generator Root Path Location

[Pekes317]

It would be great if we could define where the generator creates files base on the templates.

Hey @Pekes317
Thanks for feedbacks.
Can you explain how you need this feature works ?

[Pekes317]

Sure, currently the Nest cli generates the templates in using a "src" folder as the root. Ex. "src/controllers/main/main.contoller.ts" It would nice to be able to change it to a different folder like "server" if the current "src" folder is being used for another component. Does that make sense?

[thomrick]

Yeah totally !

If you want try to develop and make a PR about this cool feature ! ;-)
Start from master that will be released very soon on v2.0.0-rc1.

The CLI tool was rebuild from scratch and integrate schematics to generate assets.
Please upgrade to v4.0.0-rc1

Sorry but I did not understand if this feature was implemented? thks

This may help some who modify their nestjs to create a nest-cli.json that already comes in a generated project if it is not added and change the sourceRoot by the desired one.

{ 
    "language": "ts", 
    "sourceRoot": "src" 
}
