Writing A Custom Angular Build
summary
Shows how to replace the CLI with a small Node-based build that actually works: a custom NGS CLI, file-copy and config hooks, async/await task parallelism, exec vs spawn for running ngc AOT and a watcher, and Java-backed Closure Compiler for production bundles. Demonstrates copying only listed node_modules, formatting index.html, producing an ngFactory staging dir, and producing a single bundle about 60.9 KB and far fewer network requests so the build and optimization pipeline visibly succeed.
