## Seed App Angular 5 & CLI 1.5 Upgrade

November 01 2017 by [Chris](/content/chris@techdevsolutions.com)

Angular 5 and Angular CLI 1.5 just came out today! To start the upgrade, I upgraded npm by running `npm install -g npm` followed by upgrading my global npm packages with `npm update -g`.

I created a new Angular CLI project in order to observe any changes by running `ng new angular-cli-seed`.

I noticed that .angular-cli.json and karma.conf.js are unchanged, however package.json reflects all Angular packages have been changed to version "^5.0.0.", angular-cli changed to version "1.5.0", rxjs has been changed to version "^5.5.2" and finally typescript has been changed to version "~2.4.2".

So for my seed app, I changed those version numbers and installed those latest packages with `npm install`. There was a very small tslint.json update too which blacklisted developers from importing all of "rxjs/Rx" which makes total sense and polyfills.ts now doesn't include `import 'core-js/es6/reflect`.

Everything in my extremely basic seed app still works! I verified by running lint, a production build and my Chrome unit tests.
