AngularCli: disable minification

Question

Is there a way to disable the minification in AngularCli?

After I launch the command ng build --prod I need to have all files.js, in dist folder, separa

Answer 1

Just do:

ng build --prod --optimization=false

That seems to do it. For more information see: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/wiki/build

This is valid for angular 6.*

Answer 2

Note: If you use ng serve through some package.json run target, according to the manpage of Angular6 correspoding switch for this is:

ng serve --optimization=false

will speedup this bs in development noticeable

Answer 3

ng build --build-optimizer=false

Answer 4

In order to get the plain and separate and un-minified js files you just need to compile them with typescript (tsc) to your dist directory.

There is no need to use the cli build. By design Angular CLI bundles all javascript files when building.

From the cli build documentation:

All builds make use of bundling and limited tree-shaking, while --prod builds also run limited dead code elimination via UglifyJS.
