Consistent naming of options and arguments that do the same thing

[alan-agius4]

At the moment, certain options and arguments that do the same thing should are not named the same across all schematics.

In ng new to skip the creation of spec files, one needs to use --skip-test, with an alias of -S, while in other schematics it is --spec and no alias.

In the component schematics ng generate component, to specify the style preprocessor you need to use --styleext, while in ng new this is named --style

We should discuss this, choose the preferred namings and align all the same options to make it easier for the users.

I prefer --skip-test and --style

Let's review it for v8. We have a design in place and a discussion.

When I create a new project using the just-released 6.2 CLI and --skip-tests=true --style="scss", the new angular.json file uses the new skipTests field as expected, but instead of "style": "scss" under @schematics/angular:component, I still see "styleext": "scss".

The PR clearly states "styleext has been deprecated in favor of style since the latest is two words.", so this appears to be have been overlooked for new project creation.

@alan-agius4 @hansl @kyliau See above - behavior hasn't changed in the latest version so just checking if anyone saw this comment.

[alan-agius4]

@EatonZ, just saw your comment. Ideally, you open new issue when there is a bug.

That said, I will land a PR for this soon, since it's a minor thing.
