Angular CLI Basics - ng generate pipe

In this video, we cover how to generate pipes using the Angular CLI. To generate a pipe, you need to run the following command:

ng generate pipe pipe-name

You can add a number of flags after the pipe name, depending on what you need. The flags we covered in this section are:

• --export
• --module
• --flat

In addition to the --module flag, which adds a pipe to a module, you can add a pipe to a module by putting the pipe in the folder of a module, closest to where the module is located. So, if you have a SharedModule in a shared folder, you can add a pipe to that module with the following command:

ng g p shared/pipe-name

For more information on generating pipes, and for a list of all the flags available when generating pipes, you can check out the docs.
