Question about that Angular CLI tar file... #5

joerossetter commented 6 years ago

why do you use an .angular_cli.tgz in the project root instead of just installing a version from npm using the package.json?

jpconsi commented 6 years ago

This sample is using the nrwl nx schematic which produces that file. The .angular_cli.tgz is being used to fix the version of angular-cli, what nrwl calls sandboxing. This is desired for enterprise applications so that many projects being developed at the same time are not impacted by angular-cli version changes of other projects (apps or libs).

thanks for the response! funny enough, looks like that's changing slightly in nrwl going forward.
