How do I add component defaults in angular cli 6+

Question

In the old angular cli there was a key called defaults:

"defaults": {
    "schematics": {
      "collection": "@nrwl/schematics",
      "postGenerate": "npm run format",
      "newProject": [
        "app",
        "lib"
      ]
    },
    "styleExt": "scss",
    "component": {
      "changeDetection": "OnPush"
    }
  }

This property no longer exsists. How do I add component/changeDetection on push in angular cli 6+? moreover is there a list of component properties I can add?

Answer 1

I'm not as familiar with the old CLI. Were those properties configured as global CLI settings, or a per-project setting?

In the new Angular CLI, you can replicate per-project settings in the angular.json file by updating the schematics object to the following:

"projects": { "my-project": { "root": "", "sourceRoot": "src", "projectType": "application", "prefix": "app", "schematics": { "@schematics/angular:component": { "changeDetection": "OnPush" } },

Answer 2

Via the Angular CLI, you can do it as follows:

ng config schematics.@schematics/angular:component.changeDetection OnPush
