Some commands (like schematics) need to have custom reporting for
analytics. Schematics and Architect commands need to verify if the
schematic/architect builder run is in the safelist, for example.
Angular 5.0+ has a full peer dependencies setup (with 6.0+ also having a configurable runtime error check) to ensure that an appropriate version of typescript is available for compilation. Angular CLI 8.0+ does not support Angular versions prior to these and therefore the warning is redundant. For the case where the developer wishes to use an unsupported TypeScript version, the developer would need to adjust two similar but differently name settings in two different configuration files.
ng-add checks if a specified collection is installed, and if not it'd
proceed to install the package. However, `isPackageInstalled` would, by
default, resolve the main field or the index of the package. Not all NPM
packages specify the main field or provide an index file. It should
be sufficient to just check the presence of `package.json` to detect
whether a package is installed or not.
For example, `ng add @angular/bazel` should not install the package if
it's already installed locally. `@angular/bazel` does not specify a main
field not an index file in its `package.json`.
If no version specifier is supplied `ng add` will now try to find the most recent version of the package that has peer dependencies that match the package versions supplied in the project's package.json
Don't mention Architect
We don't inline resources anymore
Minor grammar tweaks
Split out a couple more long descriptions so the short description is plain text
--help now accepts a value which can be a boolean or a string. If the value
is not understood we simply show a message to the user that it was invalid.
SubCommands are not tied to the option that triggers them. They
contain a subset of a CommandDescription interface, with at least
a short and long description and usage notes. These are generated
from the subcommand schema (e.g. schematics in case of generate).
