# @nrwl/angular:scam

Generate a component with an accompanying Single Component Angular Module (SCAM).

## Usage

```bash
nx generate scam ...
```

By default, Nx will search for `scam` in the default collection provisioned in `workspace.json`.

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

```bash
nx g @nrwl/angular:scam ...
```

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

```bash
nx g scam ... --dry-run
```
