Angular Schematics: Automating Code Modification Safely
Think of a schematic as a safe, scriptable code generator. It operates on a virtual copy of your project, applying changes only after verifying the entire operation. Use them to enforce conventions or package library code.
An Angular Schematic is like a transactional script for your codebase. It defines transformations (create, rename, delete) on a virtual file system, not your actual files, ensuring operations are safe and atomic. Use them to integrate libraries with the CLI or automate boilerplate and refactors. The footgun is direct file manipulation; always work through the virtual `Tree` and `Rule` abstractions to prevent destructive errors.
