Create component to specific module with Angular-C

Question

I'm starting to use angular-cli and I've already read a lot to find an answer about what I want to do...no success, so I came here.

Is there a way to create a component to a new module?

e.g.: ng g module newModule

ng g component newComponent (how to add this component to newModule??)

because the angular-cli default behavior is to put all new components inside app.module. I would like to choose where my component will be, so that I can create separated modules and won't have all my components inside app.module . It is possible to do that using angular-cli or do I have to do this manually?

Add a component to the Angular 4 app using Angular CLI

To add a new Angular 4 component to the app, use command ng g component componentName. After execution of this command, Angular CLI adds a folder component-name under src\app. Also, the references of the same is added to src\app\app.module.ts file automatically.

A component shall have a @Component decorator function followed by a class which needs to be exported. The @Component decorator function accepts meta data.

To create a component as part of a module you should

1. ng g module newModule to generate a module,
2. cd newModule to change directory into the newModule folder
3. ng g component newComponent to create a component as a child of the module.
