I could be great to have support for the new angular version

@leosvelperez quick question regarding your PR
Will migrations to the new syntax also be included or will you provide some NX generators/commands/schematics which are optional so people could migrate their code.

The migration schematics/commands I am referring to are those:

• ng g @angular/core:control-flow (For the new template syntax control flow)
• ng update @angular/cli --name use-application-builder (If I recall there is already an nx migration build executor present, I guess it's this one here: https://nx.dev/nx-api/angular/executors/browser-esbuild)
• ng g @angular/core:inject-migration

[leosvelperez]

hey @colinscz!

The @angular/core:control-flow and @angular/core:inject-migration can be run with Nx like any other schematics (nx g ...). If you find issues running them on an Nx workspace, please file a separate issue so we can review it and see if the Angular team can make it more generic or if it requires us to provide a similar generator to compensate.

We provide the @nx/angular:convert-to-application-executor generator to do the same operations as the use-application-builder optional migration from the Angular CLI does.

hey @leosvelperez
Thank you for the explanation. In the end I found the right command to execute the control-flow migration.
npx nx generate @angular/core:control-flow-migration

If I run into any issue with the migration I'll file a new one separate from this. :)

Isn't angular 19 support available yet? Many users are waiting for that, can someone please look at the PR?
