           "styles": [
              "./src/styles.scss",
              "node_modules/boosted/scss/boosted.scss",

              "node_modules/boosted/dist/css/orangeHelvetica.css",

            ],

## Installation

### step 1 : install the plugin

```bash
npm install -d angular-css-shrink

### Step 2 : create a webpack config file at the root of your project (or update )

extra-webpack.config.js :

```javascript
var AngularCssShrink = require('angular-css-shrink');

module.exports = {
  plugins: [new AngularCssShrink({ debug: false })]
};

```json
"architect": {
        "build": {
            "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:browser",
            "options": {
            "aot": true,
            "outputPath": "dist/myDummyProject",
            "index": "src/index.html",
```

with

```json
"architect": {
    "build": {
          "builder": "@angular-builders/custom-webpack:browser",
           "options": {
            "customWebpackConfig": {
              "path": "./extra-webpack.config.js"
            },
            "aot": true,
            "outputPath": "dist/myDummyProject",
            "index": "src/index.html",
```

To run angular css shrink on ng serve

replace

```json
     "serve": {
          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:dev-server",
```

with

```json
   "serve": {
          "builder": "@angular-builders/custom-webpack:dev-server",
