2.0.0-beta.0

cli for building angular apps

2.0.0-beta.0 is the next generation of angular-rollup. 2.0.0 will be released once we reach feature parity with 1.x.

Currently only a few commands are supported.

• ngr scaffold
• ngr build prod
• ngr build dev --watch
• ngr build jit

How To Update

npm install -g angular-rollup@2.0.0-beta.0

ngr --help

There are new cli arguments. Review the changes by running ngr --help.

Not All Builds Are Fully Operational

2.0.0-beta currently only supports building a single bundle. Lazyloading, Universal, Electron, and i18n are not yet ready for consumption. If your app relies on any of these builds, stay with 1.x until these features are rolled into 2.0.0-beta.

Upgrade Existing Project

The easiest way to upgrade is to scaffold a new app (ngr scaffold) and overwrite the ngr.config.json and src directory with the old.

Changelog

2.0.0-beta.0

• All new build architecture allows for easier maintainance, human readibility
• 4x faster builds in some cases
• Fixed an issue that prevented styles from compiling in library builds

IMPROVEMENTS

• Add src/style/**/*.scss and src/style/**/*.css to excludes Array in tsconfig.dev.json. This will force ngc to ignore global styles and prevent compilation. Updates to global styling can now happen without browser reload.
• Deprecated requirement for Babel in library build

BREAKING CHANGES

• main.js, main.prod.js and main.prod.ts are now deprecated. These files can be removed. The build now automatically handles main.ts for dev and jit builds.
• Upgrade rollup to ^0.55.0. The library build now supports input and output syntax by default
• Arguments passed to buildHooks and server.js may change, please check and update where necessary

For example, in previous scaffolds server.js contained this conditional checking for --watch but canWatch supposes there is an =. In 2.0.0 only watch is exposed, not anything after the =:

BEFORE:

  if (arg.includes('watch')) {
    canWatch = arg.split('=')[1].trim() === 'true' ? true : false;
  }

AFTER:

  if (arg.includes('watch')) {
    canWatch = true;
  }

• Change the model for declaring library packages in ngr.config.js. The new config should look like this:

BEFORE:

dep: {
    lib: [],
    prodLib: []
}

AFTER:

lib: {
    dev: [],
    prod: []
}
