/** * This file decorates the Angular CLI with the Nx CLI to enable features such as computation caching * and faster execution of tasks. * * It does this by: * * - Patching the Angular CLI to warn you in case you accidentally use the undecorated ng command. * - Symlinking the ng to nx command, so all commands run through the Nx CLI * - Updating the package.json postinstall script to give you control over this script * * The Nx CLI decorates the Angular CLI, so the Nx CLI is fully compatible with it. * Every command you run should work the same when using the Nx CLI, except faster. * * Because of symlinking you can still type `ng build/test/lint` in the terminal. The ng command, in this case, * will point to nx, which will perform optimizations before invoking ng. So the Angular CLI is always invoked. * The Nx CLI simply does some optimizations before invoking the Angular CLI. * * To opt out of this patch: * - Replace occurrences of nx with ng in your package.json * - Remove the script from your postinstall script in your package.json * - Delete and reinstall your node_modules */ const fs = require('fs'); const os = require('os'); const cp = require('child_process'); const isWindows = os.platform() === 'win32'; let output; try { output = require('@nx/workspace').output; } catch (e) { console.warn( 'Angular CLI could not be decorated to enable computation caching.
