Adds the new flag `--build-optimizer` (`--bo`), usable only with `--aot` (or `--prod` since it auto enables `--aot`).
This feature is experimental, and may not work correctly on your project. Should it work, total bundle size should go down. Savings are heavily dependent on the project.
See https://github.com/angular/devkit/tree/master/packages/angular_devkit/build_optimizer for details about all the optimizations applied.
Usage: `ng build --prod --build-optimizer`. Disabling the vendor chunk has been shown to improve total savings, and is done automatically when `--bo` is specified unless `--vendor-chunk` has a value.
Please let us know if using `--build-optimizer` breaks your project so we can improve it further. Repos are very welcome.
Adds following defaults to `.angular-cli.json` under `defaults`: `sourcemaps`, `baseHref`, `progress`, `poll`, `deleteOutputPath`, `preserveSymlinks`, `showCircularDependencies`.
They can be set via `ng set defaults.build.KEY = VALUE`.
Also removes `apps.0.showCircularDependencies`. This is not a breaking chance since it was only added in 1.3.0-beta.0.
Followup to https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/6884#discussion_r125533830.
Two new flags are added to `ng serve`:
- `--public-host` (aliased by `--live-reload-client): Specify the URL that the browser client will use.
- `--disable-host-check`: Don't verify connected clients are part of allowed hosts.
Setting `--disable-host-check` will output a warning:
```
WARNING Running a server with --disable-host-check is a security risk. See https://medium.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server-middleware-security-issues-1489d950874a for more information.
```
See #6070 for more context about this change.
Fix#6070
Currently users must use the --ssl, -ssl-cert, -ssl-key flags to run the
server using an ssl certificate. This update allows users to set
those options in default.serve so they can just run `ng serve` without any
flags.
This provides implementations for the following serve command options:
live-reload [boolean; default: true] -- flag to control the browser live reload capability
live-reload-client [URL; default: ssl/host/port command options] -- specify the URL that the live reload browser client will use
Closes#3361
This is useful when you don't want the server to rebuild in the middle of something.
A good example is when running e2e tests. Especially on larger suites, one would prefer to continue working while the build is tested without compromising tests.
This will break tests on #4744. They should be adjusted to add the `--watch` flag since they depend on the live reload behaviour during `ng e2e`.
Uses existing Protractor API to run it directly instead of using `npm run
e2e`.
Also adds support for the following flags: `--serve`, `--config`,
`--specs`, `--element-explorer`, `--webdriver-update`.
Fix#4256Fix#4478
BREAKING CHANGE: `ng e2e` no longer needs `ng serve` to be running.
