Similar to the existing Webpack-based
browserbuilder, the newapplicationbuilder is also exported from the@angular-devkit/build-angularpackage for use programmatically. As is the case for the existing builder JavaScript exports from the package, the new export (buildApplication) is also considered experimental and does not provide the support nor semver guarantees that the builders have when used viaangular.jsonconfiguration. The usage of thepluginsparameter of thebuildApplicationallows adding esbuild compatible plugins to the end of the plugin list for the main application code bundling. However, usage of the parameter may result in unexpected application output and/or build failures. Stable and supported methods for build process extension are being evaluated for a future release.Closes #25556 and closes #24163
