ngc-webpack Aot

[abadakhshan]

I have an issue with ngc-webpack

I use https://github.com/AngularClass/angular-starter starter that use ngc-webpack

for example add dependency to devextreme in one module (for example BarrelModule)

import { DxDataGridModule } from 'devextreme-angular'; import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css'; import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';

and import DxDataGridModule int module in bothe prod and aot build the size of js file is same (4.5 M)

But if i use AotPlugin the size of js file is about 2M in aot build

whats the problem?

2.5 MB difference seems extreme to me, I would like o assume it's not gzipped (at least...)

Do you have a sample I can test? a repository to run AotPlugin against?

Thanks.

I ran a test using the latest ngc-webpack 3.1.0 on the latest angular starter repository.

I compared the builds on the starter with the latest version of:

• @ngtools/webpack AotPlugin
• ngc-webpack 3.0.0
• ngc-webpack 3.1.0

The one with the ngc-webpack version 3.1.0 has the ngc-webpack loader activated.

As you can see the results from 3.1.0 and AotPlugin are identical in terms of bundle size.

The results of 3..0.0 are slightly bigger in the main file but that's not 2.5 MB difference.

Maybe you compared an AotPlugin build that was gzipped with an ngc-webpack that was not?

Hello and tankyou for your response

Maybe I'm wrong

please see this repo abadakhshan/angular-webpack

without aot size off app.js is 4.299 M with npm run build(with AotPlugin):size off app.js is 1.718M

but when i want build with ngc-webpack i get error ::cannot find module @ Angular/compiler

how can i use ngc-webpack on this repo?

Please add a branch where you re-configured the webpack.config.js to use ngc-webpack

I will see from there
