I don't think we should make an exception to the convention of passing kebab case file names to `ng generate`.\n\nInstead of not modifying the selector name at all for directives, I think they should be modified to be camelCase as per the styleguide.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Blasz","@type":"Person","name":"Blasz"},"datePublished":"2016-06-27T06:18:34.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":5},"url":"https://github.com/1216/angular-cli/issues/1216"}
