###Steps: ( Assuming you have installed node.js [tested against node v6.9.1])

1. install yeoman (you may need 'sudo' for permission)

   npm install -g yo

2. install this tool

   globally (may need sudo): npm install -g generator-ng2component

   yo ng2component

   • what do u want to generate?
     you can generate either component or service or both! default only component

     • Name for this Component & its Folder?
       default: show-message
       [notice: generator will declare this component for u only if u have corresponding .module.ts]

     • resides position?
       default under: your_project_root/webpack, enter '.' will generate in current folder

     • style sheet?
       choose from sass, css, less

     • where is your module?
       default: webpack; (type = use component's location, type - do not declare)
       [assuming your module's folder name is the same with module's name, above example will find src/app/app.module.ts, also AVOID TYPING TRAILING SLASH at the end]

     • service name?
       default: device

     • service resides position?
       default under: your_project_root/webpack/shared/services/

     • import service into new component?
       default: no

     • omit index.ts?
       default: false. it will generate index.ts for each of your cmp/service

   normally, it will generate following (example) structure under your project/webpack:

   project-root/
   ├── webpack/
   │   └── some-module-name/
   │       ├── show-message/
   │       │    ├── show-message.component.ts
   │       │    ├── show-message.component.spec.ts
   │       │    ├── show-message.component.sass[less][css]
   │       │    ├── show-message.component.html
   │       │    └── index.ts
   │       ├── some-module-name.module.ts (auto declare)
   │       └── shared/
   │            └── device/
   │                ├── device.service.ts
   │                ├── device.service.spec.ts
   │                ├── device.ts
   │                └── index.ts
