@angular/cli diff

See the diffs of @angular/cli generated apps for easier upgrades

Note: This project does not offer an automated way of upgrading your @angular/cli based app. It only offers git diffs between the different versions for easy manual upgrading.

How to

• Visit nolanus.github.io/angular-cli-diff and select your current and the target version
• Click to compare button to show the diff of the generated project
• Go over the changes and apply the changes to your codebase
• Update the @angular/cli version in your package.json and run npm i

Why

The official @angular/cli does not offer an automated way to upgrade to a newer version of their generator. This leaves the developers with manually comparing the changes to the angular application architecture and upgrading or upgrading the cli without adjusting and hoping for the best. This project tries to point out the necessary differences in the generated apps so that developers can manually upgrade their files and use the newer @angular/cli versions.

Development

This repo is generated using a node script which checks for the released @angular/cli versions an generates a new app whenever there is a new release detected. Additionally the subgenerators for services/pipes/components/... are used. All code is committed onto separate branches in this repo.
