How to use the Angular CLI add command line

Adds the npm package for a published library to your workspace, and configures the project in the current working directory (or the default project if you are not in a project directory) to use that library, as specified by the library's schematic.

For example, adding @angular/pwa configures your project for PWA support:

ℹ Using package manager: npm
✔ Found compatible package version: @angular/pwa@latest.
✔ Package information loaded.
✔ Package successfully installed.
CREATE ngsw-config.json (624 bytes)
......
UPDATE angular.json (3882 bytes)
UPDATE package.json (1251 bytes)
UPDATE src/app/app.module.ts (789 bytes)
UPDATE src/index.html (475 bytes)
✔ Packages installed successfully.

For example you run the command ng add @angular/material, it will automatically install the package and configure in angular.json file too.

ℹ Using package manager: npm
✔ Found compatible package version: @angular/[email protected].
✔ Package information loaded.
