@angular-devkit/architect
Advanced tools
Package description
The @angular-devkit/architect package is a tooling and scaffolding library for Angular projects that provides an API to perform complex workflows and build steps in a scalable way. It is used to define builders that can execute tasks like building, serving, and testing Angular applications.
Running Builders
This feature allows you to run builders which are functions that can perform a specific task like building or serving an application. The code sample demonstrates how to load and run a builder using the Architect class.
const architect = new Architect(workspace); architect.loadBuilder(info).then(builder => { const run = builder.run(builderConfig); });
Creating Custom Builders
This feature enables the creation of custom builders. The code sample shows how to create a simple custom builder that always succeeds.
import { BuilderOutput, createBuilder } from '@angular-devkit/architect'; export default createBuilder<any, BuilderOutput>((options, context) => { // Custom builder logic here return { success: true }; });
Handling Build Targets
This feature is about scheduling and running builders associated with specific targets defined in the Angular workspace configuration. The code sample illustrates how to schedule a build target.
const target = { project: 'example', target: 'build' }; architect.scheduleTarget(target).then(builderRun => { // Use the result of the builder run });
Webpack is a powerful module bundler and task runner that can handle many of the same tasks as @angular-devkit/architect, such as building and bundling applications. However, webpack is more general-purpose and is not specific to Angular, whereas @angular-devkit/architect is designed to work within the Angular ecosystem.
Gulp is a toolkit for automating time-consuming tasks in your development workflow. It is similar to @angular-devkit/architect in that it can be used to define and run tasks, but it uses a streaming build system and is not specific to Angular. Gulp requires more manual setup for Angular-specific tasks.
Grunt is a JavaScript task runner that offers similar functionality to @angular-devkit/architect. It can automate tasks like minification, compilation, and testing. Like Gulp, Grunt is not tailored to Angular and requires more configuration for Angular-specific workflows.
