feat(nf): compatibility with @angular/build package

[Nicoss54]

With the arrival of Angular 20, when initializing a new project, the default builder will be: @angular/build:application.

The native federation package currently still relies on the @angular-devkit/build-angular:application builder to build the application.

However, since version 16, the @angular/build package exists, and some projects are already using it, which leads to an error when using native federation during the build: the @angular-devkit/build-angular:application builder is not found.

This PR fixes this issue and ensures compatibility with Angular 20.

@Nicoss54 Any updates on the timeline for merging this PR? Exactly as predicted above, builds are now failing after upgrading to Angular v20, with this error:

yarn run v1.22.22
$ ng build --project my-profile-mfe
An unhandled exception occurred: Cannot find module '@angular-devkit/build-angular/src/builders/dev-server/options'
Require stack:

@frans-jobjack i have no idea when this one will be merged.

@manfredsteyer do you any idea when you’ll have time to review ?

I can rework on it if needed and can also make the migration to v20 if you want

[frans-jobjack]

I would greatly appreciate the completion of the migration to v20, since this package is currently blocking us from fully upgrading. Thanks for putting in the time to maintain it.

@frans-jobjack you can install @angular-devkit/build-angular package to avoid your error. By installing the package you will not have the error anymore. I just checked the schematics of initialization the native federation with angular 20. The package is installed during the initialization.

My PR is just to use the @angular/build for building instead the @angular-devkit/build-angular

[frans-jobjack]

@Nicoss54 Thanks for the advice! It does indeed fix my error. 🙌

I have the same problem. After updating to Angular 20, I have to install @anglar-devkit/build-angular manually to my project. Having to install a dependency of native-federation feels odd. native federation should declare it as peer dependency imho.

Thanks
