@schematics/angular
Advanced tools
The @schematics/angular package is a collection of schematics for generating and modifying Angular applications and libraries. Schematics are templates that support complex logic, allowing developers to automate the creation of common patterns and best practices in an Angular project. This package is primarily used with the Angular CLI to scaffold various parts of an Angular application, such as components, services, modules, and more.
Generating Components
This command uses @schematics/angular to generate a new component named 'my-new-component'. It creates a new directory with the component's TypeScript, HTML, CSS, and spec files.
ng generate component my-new-componentGenerating Services
This command generates a new service named 'my-new-service'. It creates a TypeScript file for the service, equipped with the @Injectable decorator, allowing it to be injected as a dependency in other classes.
ng generate service my-new-serviceGenerating Modules
Generates a new NgModule named 'my-module'. This is useful for organizing related components, services, directives, and pipes into cohesive blocks of functionality.
ng generate module my-moduleSimilar to @schematics/angular, @ngrx/schematics provides schematics for generating and modifying parts of Angular applications, but it is focused on state management features using NgRx. It offers schematics for actions, reducers, effects, and more, facilitating the setup and development of reactive state management patterns.
While @angular/material primarily provides Angular components that implement Google's Material Design, it also includes schematics for adding and configuring Angular Material in an Angular project. These schematics can generate pre-configured navigation, dashboards, and tables, showcasing how it extends the Angular CLI's capabilities in a similar manner to @schematics/angular but with a focus on UI components.
This package contains a collection of schematics for generating an Angular application.

While the schematics when executed via the Angular CLI and their associated options are considered stable, the programmatic APIs are not considered officially supported and are not subject to the breaking change guarantees of SemVer.
