With this change we automate the generation of `@angular/cli/lib/config/schema.json`. While on paper we could use quicktype for this. Quicktype doesn't handle `patternProperties` and `oneOf` that well.
How does this works?
Relative `$ref` will be resolved and inlined as part of the root schema definitions.
Example
```json
"@schematics/angular:enum": {
"$ref": "../../../../schematics/angular/enum/schema.json"
},
```
Will be parsed and transformed to
```json
"@schematics/angular:enum": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/SchematicsAngularEnumSchema"
},
"definitions: {
"SchematicsAngularEnumSchema": {
"title": "Angular Enum Options Schema",
"type": "object",
"description": "Generates a new, generic enum definition for the given or default project.",
"properties": {...}
}
}
```
npm 7.5.6 contains several fixes that allow it to work successfully with the Angular CLI.
The minimum npm engine value is now set to support npm versions greater than 7.5.6 (npm 6 support remains unchanged).
A warning will be shown to users with npm 7 versions less than 7.5.6 when used with the new, add, or update commands.
This change will display an error message if using npm 7 (or versions earlier than 6). This is a temporarily change while npm 7 usability concerns are addressed.
With this change we now check if the current CLI version is the latest published version. If it is not, we install a temporary version to run the `ng update` with.
