I am trying implement AOT in my angular project which does not have cli support. I searched a bit and found @ngtools/webpack is the way to go. my angular is 11.0.4, Typescript is 4.0.5, webpack - 4.44.2. I installed @ngtools/webpack - 11.0.4.
my tsconfig.aot.json -
{
"angularCompilerOptions": {
"skipMetadataEmit" : true,
"trace": true,
"genDir": "aot/"
},
"angularOptions": {
"annotationsAs": "decorators"
},
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es2015",
"module": "es2020",
"moduleResolution": "node",
"sourceMap": true,
"emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
"experimentalDecorators": true,
"lib": [ "es2015", "dom", "es7", "es2017", "es2018", "es2019" ],
// "noEmit": true,
"noImplicitAny": false,
"suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrors": true,
"baseUrl": ".",
"allowJs": true,
"allowUnreachableCode": false,
"skipLibCheck": true,
"esModuleInterop": true,
"allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
"incremental": false,
"resolveJsonModule": true,
"outDir": "./out-tsc/app",
},
"exclude": [
"node_modules",
"aot/",
"app/Content/js/embed/appBootstrap.ts"
]
}
My Webpack.config -
//dependencies
const path = require('path');
const webpack = require('webpack');
const { AngularCompilerPlugin } = require('@ngtools/webpack');
//paths
const portalPath = path.join(__dirname, 'app');
const portalContentPath = path.join(portalPath, 'Content');
const webpackScriptPath = path.join(portalContentPath, 'js');
const nodeModulesPath = path.join(__dirname, 'node_modules');
const vbNodeModulesPath = path.join(nodeModulesPath, '@vb');
const outputPath = path.join(portalPath, 'dist');
//entry points
const entries = {
embed: path.join(webpackScriptPath, 'embed', 'EmbedBootstrap.ts')
};
module.exports = {
mode: 'production',
entry: entries,
output: {
path: outputPath,
filename: '[name].js',
publicPath: '/dist/',
sourceMapFilename: '[file].map'
},
module: {

},
plugins: [
new AngularCompilerPlugin({
tsConfigPath: path.join(__dirname, 'tsconfig.aot.json'),
sourceMap: true,
skipCodeGeneration: true, // AOT toggle
mainPath: path.join(webpackScriptPath, 'embed', 'appBootstrap.ts'),
entryModule: path.join(webpackScriptPath, 'embed', 'App.Module#AppModule')
}),
...Object.values(entries).map(entryPath => new webpack.ContextReplacementPlugin(/\@angular(\\|\/)core(\\|\/)fesm2015/, entryPath))
],
resolve: {
modules: [
'node_modules',
vbNodeModulesPath,
path.join(vbNodeModulesPath, 'vb-player', 'node_modules', '@vb')
],
extensions: ['.tsx', '.ts', '.js']
}
};
appBootstrap.ts
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { platformBrowser } from '@angular/platform-browser';
// This file not getting generated and giving compilation error
import { AppModuleNgFactory } from './App.Module.ngfactory';
enableProdMode();
platformBrowser().bootstrapModuleFactory(AppModuleNgFactory);
App.Module.ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { AppComponent } from './App.Component';
@NgModule({
bootstrap: [AppComponent],
declarations: [
AppComponent
],
imports: [
CommonModule,
FormsModule
]
})
export class AppModule {}
I am using below command to run webpack.min.config (I added it to my package.json and use npm run build)
node --max_old_space_size=4096 node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack --config ./webpack.config.min.js
Error I am getting:-
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './App.Module.ngfactory'.
I am not sure in which folder ngfactory file will be generated. I could not find any kind of solid implementation document for latest version of @ngtools/webpack.
I also tried to bootstrap my AppModule using platformBrowserDynamic() rather than using ngFactory. In that case I get error saying
Module parse failed: Unexpected character '@' (41:0)
> @NgModule({
| bootstrap: [AppComponent],
| declarations: [
@ ./App.Module.ts
I tried to play around with options in tsconfig but ended up with no luck. Any help would highly be appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.
