Angular 6 building a library with assets

Question

Upon building & packaging an Angular 6 library, I can\'t seem to be able to instruct the Angular CLI to copy the library\'s assets into the dist/assets fold

Answer 1

When you asked the question it wasn't able to include the css files on the dist folder unless you create a js script that handles the logic.

Now it is possible because ng-packagr released a new version that allows you to include the assets along with the build files:

You can copy these assets by using the assets option.

{
  "ngPackage": {
    "assets": [
      "CHANGELOG.md",
      "./styles/**/*.theme.scss"
    ],
    "lib": {
      ...
    }
  }
}
