Opting into Angular Ivy
Ivy is the code name for Angular's next-generation compilation and rendering pipeline. Starting with Angular version 8, you can choose to opt in to start using a preview version of Ivy and help in its continuing development and tuning.
To preview Ivy, use @angular/core@next
version of Angular (8.1.x), rather than @angular/core@latest
(8.0.x), as it contains all the latest bug fixes and improvements.
Using Ivy in a new project
To start a new project with Ivy enabled, use the --enable-ivy
flag with the ng new
command:
ng new shiny-ivy-app --enable-ivy
The new project is automatically configured for Ivy. Specifically, the enableIvy option is set to true
in the project's tsconfig.app.json
file.
Using Ivy in an existing project
To update an existing project to use Ivy, set the enableIvy
option in the angularCompilerOptions
in your project's tsconfig.app.json
.
{
"compilerOptions": { ... },
"angularCompilerOptions": {
"enableIvy": true
}
}
AOT compilation with Ivy is faster and should be used by default. In the angular.json
workspace configuration file, set the default build options for your project to always use AOT compilation.
{
"projects": {
"my-existing-project": {
"architect": {
"build": {
"options": {
...
"aot": true,
}
}
}
}
}
}
To stop using the Ivy compiler, set enableIvy
to false
in tsconfig.app.json
, or remove it completely. Also remove "aot": true
from your default build options if you didn't have it there before.
