| 7 | +## About |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +This is a sample project that helps you to implement your own __deployment builder__ (`ng deploy`) for the Angular CLI. |
| 10 | +The groundwork of this starter was provided by Minko Gechev's [ngx-gh project](https://github.com/mgechev/ngx-gh). |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +This project has the following purposes: |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +1. To promote the adoption of `ng deploy`. |
| 15 | +2. To clarify various questions and to standardise the experience of the various builders. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +We hope for an inspiring discussion, pull requests and questions. |
| 18 | + |

| 21 | + |
| 22 | +## Essential considerations |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +There are still differences between the existing builders. |
| 25 | +Let's find some rules that everyone agrees with. Here are two proposals. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +### 1. A deployment builder must always compile the project before the deployment |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +To reduce the chances to deploy corrupted assets, it's important to build the app right before deploying it. ([source](https://github.com/angular-schule/website-articles/pull/3#discussion_r315802100)) |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +**Current state:** |
| 32 | +Currently there are existing deployment builders that only build in production mode. |
| 33 | +This might be not enough. |
| 34 | +There is also the approach not to perform the build step at all. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +**Our suggestion:** |
| 37 | +By default, a deployment builder **shall** compile in `production` mode, but it **should** be possible to override the default configuration using the option `--configuration`. |
| 38 | + |

| 40 | + |
| 41 | +### 2. A deployment builder should have an interactive prompt after the "ng add". |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +To make it easier for the end user to get started, a deployment builder **should** ask for all the mandatory questions immediately after the `ng add`. |
| 44 | +The data should be persisted in the `angular.json` file. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +**Note:** |
| 47 | +This feature is not implemented for this starter yet, but we are looking forward to your support. |

| 61 | +3. search and replace for the string `@angular-schule/ngx-deploy-starter` and `ngx-deploy-starter` and choose your own name. |
| 62 | +4. search and replace for the string `to the file system` and name your deploy target. |
| 63 | +5. add your deployment code to `src/engine/engine.ts`, take care of the tests |
| 64 | +6. follow the instructions from the [contributors README](docs/README_contributors.md) for build, test and publishing. |
