What is collection?

Collection is a set of related schematics collected in an npm package. For example, @schematics/angular collection is used in Angular CLI to apply transforms to a web-app project. You can create your own schematic collection for customizing angular projects.

Practical Code Example

// Collection in Schematics: A collection.json file defining available schematics in a package:
{
  "$schema": "../node_modules/@angular-devkit/schematics/collection-schema.json",
  "schematics": {
    "my-component": { "factory": "./my-component/index#default" }
  }
}
