ng build

Last update on August 19 2022 21:51:37 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Compiles an Angular app into an output directory named dist/ at the given output path. Must be executed from within a workspace directory.

ng build <project> [options]
ng b <project> [options]

Description

Uses the webpack build tool, with default configuration options specified in the workspace configuration file (angular.json) or with a named alternative configuration. A "production" configuration is created by default when you use the CLI to create the project, and you can use that configuration by specifying the --prod option.

The configuration options generally correspond to the command options. You can override individual configuration defaults by specifying the corresponding options on the command line. The command can accept option names given in either dash-case or camelCase. Note that in the configuration file, you must specify names in camelCase.

Some additional options can only be set through the configuration file, either by direct editing or with the ng config command. These include assets, styles, and scripts objects that provide runtime-global resources to include in the project. Resources in CSS, such as images and fonts, are automatically written and fingerprinted at the root of the output folder.

Arguments

ARGUMENT	DESCRIPTION
<project>	The name of the project to build. Can be an application or a library

Options

OPTION	DESCRIPTION
--aot=true\|false	Build using Ahead of Time compilation. Default: false
--baseHref=baseHref	Base url for the application being built.
--buildEventLog=buildEventLog	EXPERIMENTAL Output file path for Build Event Protocol events
--buildOptimizer=true\|false	Enables '@angular-devkit/build-optimizer' optimizations when using the 'aot' option. Default: false
--commonChunk=true\|false	Use a separate bundle containing code used across multiple bundles. Default: true
--configuration=configuration	A named build target, as specified in the "configurations" section of angular.json. Each named target is accompanied by a configuration of option defaults for that target. Setting this explicitly overrides the "--prod" flag Aliases: -c
--deleteOutputPath=true\|false	Delete the output path before building. Default: true
--deployUrl=deployUrl	URL where files will be deployed.
--es5BrowserSupport=true\|false	Deprecated: This will be determined from the list of supported browsers specified in the 'browserslist' file. Enables conditionally loaded ES2015 polyfills.
--evalSourceMap=true\|false	Deprecated Output in-file eval sourcemaps. Default: false
--extractCss=true\|false	Extract css from global styles into css files instead of js ones.
	Default: false
--extractLicenses=true\|false	Extract all licenses in a separate file. Default: false
--forkTypeChecker=true\|false	Run the TypeScript type checker in a forked process. Default: true
--help= true\|false\|json\|JSON	Shows a help message for this command in the console. Default: false
--i18nFile=i18nFile	Localization file to use for i18n.
--i18nFormat=i18nFormat	Format of the localization file specified with --i18n-file.
--i18nLocale=i18nLocale	Locale to use for i18n.
--i18nMissingTranslation= i18nMissingTranslation	How to handle missing translations for i18n.
--index=index	The name of the index HTML file.
--lazyModules	List of additional NgModule files that will be lazy loaded. Lazy router modules will be discovered automatically.
--main=main	The full path for the main entry point to the app, relative to the current workspace.
--namedChunks=true\|false	Use file name for lazy loaded chunks. Default: true
--ngswConfigPath=ngswConfigPath	Path to ngsw-config.json.
--optimization=true\|false	Enables optimization of the build output.
--outputHashing= none\|all\|media\|bundles	Define the output filename cache-busting hashing mode. Default: none
--outputPath=outputPath	The full path for the new output directory, relative to the current workspace. By default, writes output to a folder named dist/ in the current project.
--poll	Enable and define the file watching poll time period in milliseconds.
--polyfills=polyfills	The full path for the polyfills file, relative to the current workspace.
--preserveSymlinks=true\|false	Do not use the real path when resolving modules. Default: false
--prod=true\|false	Shorthand for "--configuration=production". When true, sets the build configuration to the production target. By default, the production target is set up in the workspace configuration such that all builds make use of bundling, limited tree-shaking, and also limited dead code elimination.
--profile=true\|false	Deprecated: Use "NG_BUILD_PROFILING" environment variable instead. Output profile events for Chrome profiler. Default: false
--progress=true\|false	Log progress to the console while building.
--rebaseRootRelativeCssUrls=true\|false	Deprecated Change root relative URLs in stylesheets to include base HREF and deploy URL. Use only for compatibility and transition. The behavior of this option is non-standard and will be removed in the next major release. Default: false
--resourcesOutputPath=resourcesOutputPath	The path where style resources will be placed, relative to outputPath. Default:
--serviceWorker=true\|false	Generates a service worker config for production builds. Default: false
--showCircularDependencies=true\|false	Show circular dependency warnings on builds. Default: true
--skipAppShell=true\|false	"top"> Deprecated Flag to prevent building an app shell. Default: false
--sourceMap=true\|false	Output sourcemaps. Default: true
--statsJson=true\|false	Generates a 'stats.json' file which can be analyzed using tools such as 'webpack-bundle-analyzer'. Default: false
--subresourceIntegrity=true\|false	Enables the use of subresource integrity validation. Default: false
--tsConfig=tsConfig	The full path for the TypeScript configuration file, relative to the current workspace.
