node-library

Example: Node Library

In this example we are using the built in job nodeLib and just to add some flavour we also perform a copy using the copyFile job.

nodeLib will disable all angular related build steps (ts compilation, package.json definitions, bundles) and create a simple TS compilation using a provided TS configuration file (optional) or the project's tsconfig when not set.

Angular CLI config (partial from angular.json)

"architect": {
  "build": {
    "builder": "ng-cli-packagr-tasks:build",
    "options": {
      "tsConfig": "tsconfig.lib.json",
      "project": "ng-package.json",
      "tasks": {
        "config": "copy-files-and-bump.ts",
        "data": {
          "nodeLib": {
            "tsConfig": "tsconfig.node-lib.json"
          },
          "copyFile": {
            "assets": [
              {
                "glob": "**/*.txt",
                "input": "src",
                "output": "dist"
              }
            ]
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Dont forget module: "commonjs" in the ts configuration file.

The ng-package.json file does not change, similar to an angular package build it will hold instructions for the entryFile, destination folder etc...

ng-package.json contains instructions specific to angular package builds, such instructions are ignored when using the node library job. (cssUrl, umdId, etc...).

Post Processing

Post processing tasks are not part of the scope, nodeLib will only compile the library and create a package.json for it. To perform other tasks add additional jobs.

In this example we are copying files post creation.
