[angular] How to rename a component in Angular CLI?

Currently Angular CLI doesn't support the feature of renaming or refactoring code.

You can achieve such functionality with the help of some IDE.

Intellij, Eclipse, VSCode etc.. has default support the refactoring.

Nowadays VSCode is showing some uptrend,personally I'm a fan of this

Refactoring with VSCode

Determinig reference : - VS Code help you find all references of a variable by selecting variable and pressing shortcut SHIFT + F12. This works incredibly well with Type Script.

Renaming all instances of reference :- After finding all the references you can press F2 will open a popup and you can change the value and click enter this will update all the instances of reference.

Renaming files and imports You can rename a file and its import references with a plugin. More details can be found here

With above steps after renaming the variables and files you can achieve the angular component renaming.
