Angular CLI - ng add

Install an Angular package and run its setup schematic.

How it works

ng add <package> installs a package and runs its schematic to configure the project. Review the package identity and changes, inspect angular.json and package files, and use a version compatible with the installed Angular release.

Good practice

• Check the local Angular CLI version and run commands from the intended workspace.
• Review angular.json targets and builders before assuming optional commands are configured.
• Use the package manager and lockfile selected by the project.
• Review generated files, configuration changes, and build output before committing or deploying.
