ngx-cli-toolkit - schematics for schematics

This package provides schematics that can setup and generate schematics for your library. Creating ng add, ng generate, ng update or custom builders for the Angular CLI is not easy and often prevents you from solving your actual problems if you are not familiar with the bootstrapping process.

This package is in a very early stage, and most likely has bugs.

Support

This package supports all LTS versions of Angular. (Angular support policy and schedule)

Schematics

Install

Run ng add to add this package as well as useful, schematics related, dependencies that are useful for creating schematics.

ng add ngx-cli-toolkit

Bootstrap schematics project

The init schematic tries to discover the location of a package.json based on the directory the schematic was executed from.

It will add the necessary schematic fields to the package.json as well as create json files that manage the ng update and ng generate schematics in your project.

ng generate ngx-cli-toolkit:init

Example for an Angular library project:

Inside Angular workspaces, the --project flag can be used to locate the root directory of a project.

ng generate library awesome-library
ng generate ngx-cli-toolkit:init --project awesome-library
