angular cli is generating a standalone component when it is generating with module

[anantanandgupta]

Command

generate

Is this a regression?

• Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version

The previous version in which this bug was not present was

16.x

Description

while generating a lazy loading module from command line tool, the generated component is marked as standalone by default, while there is no option to flag this component to be generated as a normal component.

Minimal Reproduction

below command generates a standalone component when generating a module

ng g m moduleName --routing -m app --route module-name

output as

CREATE applications/go-live/src/app/modules/module-name/module-name-routing.module.ts (360 bytes)
CREATE applications/go-live/src/app/modules/module-name/module-name.module.ts (387 bytes)
CREATE applications/go-live/src/app/modules/module-name/module-name.component.scss (0 bytes)
CREATE applications/go-live/src/app/modules/module-name/module-name.component.html (26 bytes)
CREATE applications/go-live/src/app/modules/module-name/module-name.component.ts (218 bytes)
UPDATE applications/go-live/src/app/app-routing.module.ts (1131 bytes)

I have to modify the angular.json -> schematics -> @schematics/angular:component -> standalone to false to make is possible, but that impact the global component generation.

since the standalone component generation is default now, but we have a choice when we a generating the component only with a flag --standalone or --no-standalone.

i am considering this a bug as i seems that this use case was not thought through when angular team decided to make the standalone components as the default for the component generation.
