This PR adds differential loading to the browser builder. First, it checks if differential loading is needed. This is the case if the compilation target is ES2015 while the browserslist points to ES5 browsers.
For providing differential loading, it calls the methods for creating the webpack config for each compilation target (e. g. ES5 and ES2015). The needed differences between those configurations are defined using parameters also added by this PR. Then it calls webpack for each of them and merges the results
This feature is currently hidden behind a flag. To activate it, set the differentialLoading flag in browser/index.ts.
If a custom path is provided the webpack dev server client drops the sockjs-node segment. This adds it back so that behavior is consistent when using a custom URL path.
Fixes#13627
Remove the manually maintained schema.d.ts from the browser builder, and use
the Schema JSON file to generate it. This had a lot of repercussions around
the whole build-angular code base and the different interfaces that were
manually kept.
The warning points to a solution for the WDS disconnect issue. Using --disable-host-check
will additionally warn the user that this might be insecure.
Fixes#11060
* feat(@angular/cli): update schema to match new `sourceMap`
* feat(@angular-devkit/build-angular): fine grain settings for sourceMaps
This PR add more control over which sourceMaps you want, Now you can enable sourceMaps for scripts only, styles only or both. Also we added another functionality which are hidden sourcemaps. These are normaly used for error reporting tools.
Fixes#7527
This should clean up the code a bit.
Note: at first I added the no-useless-cast rule, but after getting frustrated
with it (as it has many false positive), I decided to remove the rule but some
useless casts were removed so I let those in the PR.
