Package description
What is @angular-devkit/build-angular?
The @angular-devkit/build-angular package is a set of tools and build configurations used to compile and build Angular applications. It is part of the Angular DevKit and is designed to work with the Angular CLI to provide a smooth development experience. It includes features for building, bundling, optimizing, and serving Angular applications.
What are @angular-devkit/build-angular's main functionalities?
Building Angular Applications
Compiles an Angular app into an output directory. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory by default.
ng buildDevelopment Server
Builds the application and starts a web server. You can view your application in the browser by navigating to the provided localhost address.
ng serveCode Optimization
Performs ahead-of-time compilation, tree-shaking, minification, and other optimizations to produce a production-ready application.
ng build --prodSass/SCSS Compilation
Allows you to use Sass/SCSS stylesheets with your Angular components, which will be compiled to CSS during the build process.
ng build --style=scssInternationalization (i18n)
Builds the application with i18n support. It can generate multiple versions of your application, one for each locale you support.
ng build --localizeOther packages similar to @angular-devkit/build-angular
webpack
Webpack is a powerful module bundler that can be used for building Angular applications. It is more generic than @angular-devkit/build-angular and can be used with various frameworks and libraries. It requires more configuration but is highly customizable.
parcel-bundler
Parcel is a fast, zero-configuration web application bundler that can also be used with Angular. It is simpler to set up than Webpack but may not offer the same level of control for complex build configurations.
rollup
Rollup is a module bundler for JavaScript that compiles small pieces of code into something larger and more complex, such as a library or application. It is known for its tree-shaking capabilities and is often used for building libraries. It can be used with Angular but is not as integrated as @angular-devkit/build-angular.
gulp
Gulp is a toolkit for automating painful or time-consuming tasks in your development workflow. While it can be used to build Angular applications, it is more of a task runner than a specialized Angular build tool and requires more setup for Angular-specific tasks.
