Developing

This project comes with a sandbox Angular application that you can use to test your changes with. Before starting development run npm run link:schematic to ensure that your local schematic can be used in the sandbox.

Testing

To test locally, install @angular-devkit/schematics-cli globally and use the schematics command line tool. That tool acts the same as the generate command of the Angular CLI, but also has a debug mode. For convienience, there is a script that will clean the project, build it, and run the command line argouments to test. Simply run npm test to exectute.

Check the documentation with

schematics --help

Publishing

To publish, simply do:

npm run build
npm publish

That's it!
