Right click on a file or a folder in your current project. There are two options added to the context menu Add Angular2 Files and Add Angular2 Files (Extended):
This command adds the following files to your new folder (let's assume you typed in home):
home/home.component.ts
home/home.component.html
home/home.component.css
home/home.component.spec.ts
This command adds the following extended files to your new folder (let's assume you typed in home):
home/home.component.ts
home/home.component.html
home/home.component.css
home/home.component.spec.ts
home/shared/home.service.ts
home/shared/home.ts
The naming of the files as well as the (boilerplate) snippets are based on the official Angular2 Style Guide

Important: This extension due to the nature of it's purpose will create files on your hard drive and if necessary create the respective folder structure. While it should not override any files during this process, I'm not giving any guarantees or take any responsibility in case of lost data.
