When running ng generate class customer -type=model, receiving an error "Unknown Option: '-CodePudding

Trying to deploy a simple MEAN stack application according to this page

I am using a Centos 8 OS. I have posted my system's environment in detail below.

When running the following command:

ng generate class customer –type=model

being gifted with the below error:

[root@localhost src]# ng generate class customer -type=model
Unknown option: '-e'

Did try digging across the web, nothing was spot on for this error, or I missed the spot. I have posted the environment in detail as below. Any assistance is much appreciated.

[root@localhost src]# node -v
v16.13.1
[root@localhost src]# npm -v
8.1.2
[root@localhost src]# ng version

CodePudding user response：

You need to use -- and not - while specifying the option. So the proper way to generate class with type option would be:

ng generate class customer --type=model

ng g class customer --type=model

Reference: class schematic command
