Automated Scaffolding with Schematics (Angular)

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

Shows how to write and run custom Angular schematics that actually modify a project: generating folder/file templates, TS config path aliases, and stylePreprocessorOptions includePaths, using the schematics API methods (create, overwrite, merge) and workspace queries. Demonstrates linking a local schematics package with npm link, piping multiple schematics as a schematics pipeline, validating options via schema, dry-run behavior, and proves it works by creating files and overwriting angular.json and tsconfig with the expected changes.
