未生成Index.ts

Question

I m generating a component but it wont generate index.ts file . I am using the following command

ng g c Databinding 

whereas i am running windows with node 6.9.1 and angular-cli version 1.0.0 beta.20-4 while my app.component.ts has following code

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { DatabindingComponent } from './databinding/databinding.component';
//./databinding/databinding.component is a replacement for ./databinding as     index.ts didn't generated. 
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `
  <h1>{{title}}</h1>
 <app-databinding></app-databinding>
  `,
  directives : [DatabindingComponent];
})
export class AppComponent {
    title = 'I changed it!';
}

Edit, Following on Angular github , i found out that index.ts is not a part of angular generate, so my question is how to use directives now?

Answer 1

The index.ts file inside the folder is used to exports the classes you want to show, like:

import { Component1, Component2 } from './databinding';

They were removed from angular-cli since the introduction of module . It's now used to expose the API of your module (inside the app folder).
