module definitions in angular.json #6

i found module definitions in the angular.json file. isnt this against the idea of a plugin system ? if these modules are unknown at compile time, how does it help to put modules there ?

This is just some configs to build UMD modules. To build a module, you need an "angular app", so instead of using a second app, you can build directly in your main app. But your main app will not include these modules in the build.

If someone else create a new module without your main app, he will have to create a new "app" just for building the new module.
