1. In your library project's `package.json` file, add a "schematics" entry with the path to your schema file.
The Angular CLI uses this entry to find named schematics in your collection when it runs commands.

The initial schema that you have created tells the CLI where to find the schematic that supports the `ng add` command.
Now you are ready to create that schematic.

The only step needed to provide initial `ng add` support is to trigger an installation task using the `SchematicContext`.
The task uses the user's preferred package manager to add the library to the project's `package.json` configuration file, and install it in the project’s `node_modules` directory.

1. First, import the schematics definitions you will need. The Schematics framework offers many utility functions to create and use rules when running a schematic.

If the `path` is not defined, use the `sourceRoot` from the project configuration along with the `projectType`.

### Define the rule

A `Rule` can use external template files, transform them, and return another `Rule` object with the transformed template. You can use the templating to generate any custom files required for your schematic.

1. Add the following code to your factory function.

</code-example>

* The `apply()` method applies multiple rules to a source and returns the transformed source. It takes 2 arguments, a source and an array of rules.
* The `url()` method reads source files from your filesystem, relative to the schematic.
* The `applyTemplates()` method receives an argument of methods and properties you want make available to the schematic template and the schematic filenames. It returns a `Rule`. This is where you define the `classify()` and `dasherize()` methods, and the `name` property.
* The `classify()` method takes a value and returns the value in title case. For example, if the provided name is `my service`, it is returned as `MyService`
* The `dasherize()` method takes a value and returns the value in dashed and lowercase. For example, if the provided name is MyService, it is returned as `my-service`.
* The `move` method moves the provided source files to their destination when the schematic is applied.

1. Finally, the rule factory must return a rule.

The `chain()` method allows you to combine multiple rules into a single rule, so that you can perform multiple operations in a single schematic.
Here you are only merging the template rules with any code executed by the schematic.
