@nrwl/angular installs as a production dependency

See original GitHub issue

Current Behavior

Using create-nx-workspace and selecting any template that includes Angular installs @nrwl/angular under dependencies instead of devDependencies.

In the documentation it is shown that @nrwl/angular should be installed as a devdependency.

This behaviour causes all kinds of (normally) devDependencies to be installed as regular dependencies. Like everything @nrwl/angular depends on, their dependencies, their dependencies and so on.

Expected Behavior

@nrwl/angular is installed under devDependencies.

Steps to Reproduce

create-nx-workspace --preset=angular --appName=myApp --style=css --nx-cloud=false -name=ddapp

Failure Logs

None.

The NgRx utilities are no doubt useful and I appreciate that they are provided by Nx, but perhaps it’s better to split those utilities off from @nrwl/angular into their own package, to not require people to install packages that have no place in a production environment.

For example @nrwl/angular depends on @nrwl/cypress which depends on @cypress/webpack-preprocessor which installs the entirety of webpack into the production environment.

Can this issue be reopened? Like @Ionaru said running commands like npm audit or npx @cyclonedx/bom now incorrectly includes many devDependencies.

Like others said, if it is needed for ngrx utilities, these should be moved to their own package imho.
