In favor of consistency, the versions that will be inserted when running
ng-add
, should be aligned with the default Angular dependenices in a new CLI project.This means that we should not provide the version with a leading caret because that means that NPM can automatically/ and magically update to the most recent minor version. This shouldn't cause any problems but is just not in sync with other Angular dependencies.
All other Angular dependenices (e.g.
@angular/core
) will be installed with a leading tilde. This means that it can only happen that NPM automatically updates to the most recent patch release. We should do the same in order to be consistent.
