To support automatic component style HMR, `application` builder in development mode now provides support for generating external runtime component stylesheets. This capability leverages the upcoming support within the AOT -compiler to emit components that generate `link` elements instead of embedding the stylesheet contents for file-based styles (e.g., `styleUrl`). In combination with support within the development server to handle requests for component stylesheets, file-based component stylesheets will be able to be replaced without a full page reload. The implementation leverages the AOT compiler option `externalRuntimeStyles` which uses the result of the resource handler's resolution and emits new external stylesheet metadata within the component output code. This new metadata works in concert with the Angular runtime to generate `link` elements which can then leverage existing global stylesheet HMR capabilities. This capability is current disabled by default while all elements are integrated across the CLI and framework and can be controlled via the `NG_HMR_CSTYLES=1` environment variable. Once fully integrated the environment variable will unneeded. This feature is only intended for use with the development server. Component styles within in built code including production are not affected by this feature. NOTE: Rebuild times have not yet been optimized. Future improvements will reduce the component stylesheet only rebuild time case.
