…-angular Angular 22 deprecates the @angular-devkit/build-angular:* builder aliases (part of the Webpack wind-down) in favor of @angular/build:*. Switch all of them in angular.json (application, dev-server, ng-packagr, karma, extract-i18n) and drop the @angular-devkit/build-angular package in favor of @angular/build. The new @angular/build:karma builder registers its framework/plugin internally, so the karma.conf.js files no longer reference @angular-devkit/build-angular. Removing the legacy package drops the old Webpack toolchain: ~370 fewer installed packages and 0 audit vulnerabilities (was 4). Build output unchanged; full gate green on a clean-room install (rm node_modules + package-lock.json). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Angular 22 deprecates the
@angular-devkit/build-angular:*builder aliases (part of winding down Webpack) in favor of@angular/build:*— that's the... is deprecated as part of Angular's Webpack support deprecation. Use "@angular/build:..." insteadwarning shown onng serve/ng test.This switches all builders and drops the legacy package.
Changes
angular.json— all builders moved to@angular/build:*:application,dev-server,ng-packagr,karma,extract-i18n.karma.conf.js(both projects) — removed the@angular-devkit/build-angularframework entry and therequire('@angular-devkit/build-angular/plugins/karma')plugin. The new@angular/build:karmabuilder registers its framework/plugins itself (it even filters the old framework name out).package.json— replaced@angular-devkit/build-angularwith@angular/build(^22.0.0).Why it's worth it
Removing
@angular-devkit/build-angulardrops the whole legacy Webpack toolchain:Build output is unchanged (the
:application/:dev-serverbuilders were already esbuild/Vite under the old name).Validation
