Error: More than one module matches. Use skip-import option to skip importing the component into the closest module

Question

When I try to create a component in the angular cli, it\'s showing me this error. How do I get rid of it ?

Error: More than one module matches. Use sk

Answer 1

Try This: It is working for me

ng generate component componentName --module=app.module

Answer 2

Specify the module using the --module parameter. For example, if the main module is app.module.ts, run this:

ng g c new-component --module app

Or if you are in an other directory then

ng g c component-name --module ../

Answer 3

This is caused since the generation tried to add your component to a module, i.e. to add this line

import { MyComponent } from './Components/my-component/my-component.component';

but it found 2 modules.

As stated here, they fixed it to a situation where as long as in the root src/app folder you have only 1 module, you're fine, so just move the secondaries modules to a sub-folder.

Otherwise you have to use --module
