Deep Dive into Angular Builders
summary
Shows how to write three concrete Angular builders: a small command builder that spawns child_process to run arbitrary CLI commands (used to ls, cowsay, pass args and return exit codes), an extend webpack pattern that merges a user webpack file and injects plugins into the browser build via the angular devkit, and an extend dev server that spins up a websocket log server to stream console output from remote devices. Uses angular devkit architect, NX demo repo, and a working 118‑line example that actually runs.
