How to rename an Angular project?

Question

I renamed my Angular 4 project folder from auction-life to auction-05-life and replaced 3 occurrences of the old project name in:

Answer 1

As of this writing, the Angular-cli commandline doesn't do renaming. So, this is what i did (manually):

1. First, see how really invested the old name is in the project by searching the "old name". On Linux, i used simple grep as.

grep -ir "oldname" .

That showed so many files, most of them under /node_modules. So i removed the /node_modules (and will use npm install after i finish the rename).

2. Next, i did Linux find & replace command against the files in current folder as follows (source sited at bottom):

cd your folder
sed -i 's/oldName/newName/g' *

Finally, don’t forget to do npm install on the current directory to install dependencies listed in your package.json (remember we removed node_modules that had old name)
