Setting default config elements in Angular 6 w/ NX

Was having some trouble with the schematics generator using nrwl’s NX in a monorepo, as my preferred defaults weren’t getting generated.

It’s performance-destroying to have to make sure you remember to set changeDetection to OnPush in every component if you’re using ngrx like I am (and forget). It’s also something I haven’t been able to figure out how to search for…the absence of a changeDetection strategy in a selector…would love a comment if you know how to do this (I’d imagine offhand you could lint this)

Here’s the issue that pointed me to the fix: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/533

If you’re using NX, then the schematics configuration isn’t set by

@schematics:component

Instead it’s set by

@nrwl/schematics:component

So I added the following to the bottom of my angular.json and now I’m getting the right auto-generated settings

//angular.json
"cli": {
  "warnings": {
  "typescriptMismatch": false,
  "versionMismatch": false
},
"defaultCollection": "@nrwl/schematics"
},
"defaultProject": "app1",
"schematics": {
  "@nrwl/schematics:component": {
  "styleext": "scss",
  "spec": true,
  "flat": true,
  "changeDetection": "OnPush",
  "prefix": "my-prefix"
  }
}
