Should ngx-build-plus use merge() or merge.smart()?

[joeldenning]

From what I can tell from the documentation, webpack-merge's merge.smart() function is better at merging webpack configs than a plain merge() is. The merge.smart() function does a better job of merging the loaders and module.rules webpack configuration, and maybe some other parts of the config.

Thoughts on whether ngx-build-plus should switch over to merge.smart()?

Thanks for this idea. For more advanced scenarios, I would recommend using plugins as they give you a very fine-grained control over the config. You can find sth. about this at [1] -- see "using plugins" and "Using different merging strategies":
