Description

Copy README.md file by default. But when have multiple language versions, like this:

README.md
README.zh-CN.md

I need to manually copy other language versions.

Sometimes, project need dependencies original styles files (like less) in release package.

Hi there, earlier this week I realized that there is no copy functionality for library assets.

Therefore I have extended the @angular-devkit/build-ng-packagr:build and created an own one with asset copy functionality.

Here you will find how to use it: https://github.com/linnenschmidt/build-ng-packagr#how-to-use-it

npm install @linnenschmidt/build-ng-packagr --save-dev

Please give it a try. Maybe this approach is enough for you.

Hi @mario-d-s, thanks for you interest. I actually had a chat around this with @mgechev a couple of hrs ago.

We should be having more discussions around this in the near future. The first steps though would be to iron out the public api and the scope of the features, ie which scenarios will be supported and not supported.

“Copy and paste” of assets might probably be enough for most users, and probably will be the first iteration when this is included.
