Generating Angular directives enables you to create reusable DOM manipulation logic, custom behavior, and component enhancements that can be applied across your application. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve generated hundreds of Angular directives for tooltip behavior, input validation, accessibility features, and custom styling logic across enterprise component libraries. From my expertise, the most efficient approach is to use Angular CLI’s generate directive command. This method creates the proper directive structure, imports, and testing files while following Angular best practices for directive development and integration.
