While developing an Angular portlet I noticed that the build takes 2-6 minutes and results in a ~40MB .jar.
The only changes I made to the original template were in package.json. There I updated the dependencies to match a current Angular CLI project.
{
"dependencies": {
"@angular/animations": "~8.2.14",
"@angular/cdk": "^8.2.3",
"@angular/common": "~8.2.14",
"@angular/compiler": "~8.2.14",
"@angular/core": "~8.2.14",
"@angular/forms": "~8.2.14",
"@angular/material": "^8.2.3",
"@angular/platform-browser": "~8.2.14",
"@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "~8.2.14",
"@angular/router": "~8.2.14",
"@ngx-translate/core": "^11.0.1",
"core-js": "^2.5.1",
"hammerjs": "^2.0.8",
"rxjs": "~6.4.0",
"tslib": "^1.10.0",
"zone.js": "~0.9.1",
"webpack": "4.41.2"
},
"devDependencies": {
"@angular-devkit/build-angular": "~0.803.19",
"@angular/cli": "~8.3.19",
"@angular/compiler-cli": "~8.2.14",
"@angular/language-service": "~8.2.14",
"@types/node": "~8.9.4",
"ts-node": "~7.0.0",
"tslint": "~5.15.0",
"typescript": "~3.5.3",
"liferay-npm-bundler": "2.15.0"
},
"main": "lib/angular-loader.js",
"name": "liferay-angular8",
"scripts": {
"build": "tsc && liferay-npm-bundler"
},
"version": "1.0.0"
}
I already know that things got better after Liferay 7.0 (which I am using) but unfortunately I am stuck with it for now.
Are my build duration and size normal? Is there a way to optimize it?
