Background: I will be building 40+ locales of an applications and pre-rending all the pages to static html.

To do this I need access to every AppServerModuleNgFactory.

Questions:

1- Can I call ng build from from @angular/cli package in a file called build.ts w/o using node exec?

From this:

exec(ng build --output-path=dist/apps/portfolio/fr-CA -prod --aot --bh=/fr-CA/ --app=portfolio --i18n-file=./apps/portfolio/i18n/messages.fr-CA.xlf --i18n-format=xlf --locale=fr-CA;)

const { AppServerModuleNgFactory} = require('dist/apps/portfolio-server/fr-CA/main.bundle.js');

to something better like this:

const { AppServerModuleNgFactory} = await ng.build(`
  -prod
  --aot
  --bh=/fr-CA/
  --app=portfolio
  --i18n-file=./apps/portfolio/i18n/messages.fr-CA.xlf
  --i18n-format=xlf
  --locale=fr-CA`);

It's certainly possible, see https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/blob/master/packages/%40angular/cli/bin/ng . Though it relies on package internals and doesn't really make the things easier. You still have to deal with streams. I guess that `exec` is the preferable way. – Estus Flask Nov 11 '17 at 16:06
Bleh I can read like zero percent of this – Armeen Moon Nov 11 '17 at 16:10
