v7.0.0

New naming conventions

Angular 20 changed the naming conventions for class and file names:

• no more class and file names suffix for components, directives and services:
  • ProductCardComponent in product-card.component.ts => ProductCard in product-card.ts
  • ProductApiService in product-api.service.ts => ProductApi in product-api.ts
  • MissingProductDirective in missing-product.directive.ts => MissingProduct in missing-product.ts
• suffix kept for the other concepts, but file name suffix separator changed from . to -:
  • CustomDatePipe in custom-date.pipe.ts => CustomDatePipe in custom-date-pipe.ts
  • ProductsPage in products.page.ts => ProductsPage in products-page.ts
  • authInterceptor in auth.interceptor.ts => authInterceptor in auth-interceptor.ts
  • authGuard in auth.guard.ts => authGuard in auth-guard.ts
  • dataResolver in data.resolver.ts => dataResolver in data-resolver.ts

Angular refers to these 2 different naming conventions as:

• the former 2016 style guide, up to Angular 19
• the new 2025 style guide, which is the default since Angular 20

This extension now follows the new naming conventions by default. But you can switch back to the legacy naming conventions in one click with the configuration helper (it must be done in each workspace).

As a reminder, this extension is not developed by the Angular team or affiliated to Google in any way. It is months of unpaid work by a single contributor. So if you do not like this change, I am not responsible for it, and again, you can switch back to the previous behavior.

"Copy settings from angular.json" will take into account type and typeSeparator options (which are automatically added when migrating an Angular 19 project to Angular 20 via ng update).

Pro edition users can additionnaly:

• set custom suffixes
• set a suffix only for the class name but not for the file name
• set a suffix only for the file name but not for the class name

Also for the Pro edition users having custom schematics with suffix, a new fileNameSuffix property is introduced for the schematic.json configuration. For backward compatibility, it defaults to .suffix, but this behavior may be removed in the future. It is strongly recommended to add an explicit fileNameSuffix to all your schematic.json using suffix.

Other changes

• skipClassSuffix option for components, directives and services is removed, as it is now the default behavior
• Angular ESLint suffixes management (both in the configuration helper and the angularEslintComponentSuffix feature for custom schematics) is removed as it does not make sense anymore and as angular-eslint removed the rule from the recommended set in version 20
