Exercise 7: chain

Checkout branch

Checkout the chain branch:

npm run clean

git checkout -f chain

In the src/schematic-starter/index.ts file:

In the main function, return the chain method and include the addFiles Rule function. Invoke with the tree and context to return a Tree.

return chain([addFiles(_options)])(tree, _context);

In the addFiles helper function:

Use mergeWith to return the source files and accompanying Rule's. With mergeWith, you can merge an input tree with the source passed in returning a Rule

const templateSource = apply(url("./files"), [
  template({
    ...strings,
    ..._options
  }),
  move(path)
]);

return mergeWith(templateSource);

npm test

You should have the three component files added to the sandbox at sandbox/src/app/components.

In the chain method add another input to execute an external schematic:

example: externalSchematic('@schuchard/prettier', 'add', {})

return chain([addFiles(_options), externalSchematic('@schuchard/prettier', 'add', {})])(
  tree,
  _context
);

npm test

You should have added the files and setup Prettier.

Open the sandbox/src/app/app.module.ts file and add the new component to the module declarations.
Open the sandbox/src/app/app.component.html file and replace the HTML with the new component selector.

If you choose the default name prompt you would use NgConfComponent and <app-ng-conf></app-ng-conf> for the above steps.
