Right now all the base projects are hardcoded for all project types. This lead to a need to update Angular base project each time Angular release a new version and change something in their empty project.
To automate this we may make base project generate by angular-cli via ng new command. The we should call and ng add igniteui-angular and this should be our base project. Of course one more step will be needed to add all the placeholders we are using now.
