    vendorNpmFiles: [
        'moment/moment.js'

We are well aware of issues with the third party installation and are in the process of formulating a better solution. The whole process is being thought out and we will carefully take this into consideration.

As the thing will be likely ripped out and not used, I'll close this and suggest you wait for the new solution. You can for now install third parties from npm and manually add them to your build.

Cheers.

It makes sense for the lib install tool to become a separate tool outside of angular-cli.

@hansl Since the intent of the effort was community grown, we would appreciate some insight on what you guys are thinking on the new direction?

[hansl]

There's a design that's being discussed on; #255. This is still in design phase.

Thank you @hansl ! Really like the sounds of that even at the early stage 👍
