Angular CLI Webpack (ngw)
This package provides an opportunity to modify @angular/cli project's webpack configuration without "ejecting".
Installation
For angular 6/7:
$ npx -p @angular/cli ng new my-project && cd my-project # create new Angular CLI project $ npm i -D ngw # installing an improved cli-eject $ ./node_modules/.bin/ngw --set-up # run via terminal in project root Set up went successfully!
For angular 5 use npm i -D ngw@angular5
Usage:
Last command installation (ngw --set-up) makes three things:
- Changes scripts in package.json that starts from
ng
tongw
- Creates file
ngw.config.ts
in project root where you can redefinewebpack.Configuration
used by@angular/cli
- Sets
complierOptions.module = "commonjs"
property intsconfig.json
So just make changes to the webpack config in appeared ngw.config.ts
You may like to do npm i -D @types/webpack
for better experience.
Example
Removes unused selectors from your CSS
This little piece of code in your ngw.config removes unused selectors from your CSS:
;;;

- Make sure that your development environment meets the requirements of
ndb
npm i -g ndb
- Add
debugger
keyword inngw.config.ts

Prod and dev mode modifications (ngw.config.ts)
