Angular Ivy
Ivy is the code name for Angular's next-generation compilation and rendering pipeline. With the version 9 release of Angular, the new compiler and runtime instructions are used by default instead of the older compiler and runtime, known as View Engine.
{@a aot-and-ivy}
AOT and Ivy
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, } } } } } }
Ivy and libraries
Ivy applications can be built with libraries that were created with the View Engine compiler.
This compatibility is provided by a tool known as the Angular compatibility compiler (ngcc
).
CLI commands run ngcc
as needed, either after npm installation of dependencies or when performing an Angular build.
If you are a library author, you should keep using the View Engine compiler as of version 9. By having all libraries continue to use View Engine, you will maintain compatibility with default v9 applications that use Ivy, as well as with applications that have opted to continue using View Engine.
See the Creating Libraries guide for more on how to compile or bundle your Angular library.
When you use the tools integrated into the Angular CLI or ng-packagr
, your library will always be built the right way automatically.
{@a opting-out-of-angular-ivy}
Opting out of Ivy in version 9
In version 9, Ivy is the default. For compatibility with current workflows during the update process, you can choose to opt out of Ivy and continue using the previous compiler, View Engine.
Before disabling Ivy, check out the debugging recommendations in the Ivy Compatibility Guide.
To opt out of Ivy, change the angularCompilerOptions
in your project's TypeScript configuration, most commonly located at tsconfig.app.json
at the root of the workspace.
The value of the enableIvy
flag is set to true
by default, as of version 9.
The following example shows how to set the enableIvy
option to false
in order to opt out of Ivy.
If you disable Ivy, you might also want to reconsider whether to make AOT compilation the default for your application development, as described above.
To revert the compiler default, set the build option aot: false
in the angular.json
configuration file.
{@a using-ssr-without-angular-ivy}
Using SSR without Ivy
If you opt out of Ivy and your application uses Angular Universal to render Angular applications on the server, you must also change the way the server performs bootstrapping.
The following example shows how you modify the server.ts
file to provide the AppServerModuleNgFactory
as the bootstrap module.
- Import
AppServerModuleNgFactory
from theapp.server.module.ngfactory
virtual file. - Set
bootstrap: AppServerModuleNgFactory
in thengExpressEngine
call.
import { ngExpressEngine } from '@nguniversal/express-engine'; import * as express from 'express'; import { join } from 'path';
import { APP_BASE_HREF } from '@angular/common';
import { AppServerModuleNgFactory } from './src/app/app.server.module.ngfactory';
// The Express app is exported so that it can be used by serverless Functions. export function app() { const server = express(); const distFolder = join(process.cwd(), 'dist/ivy-test/browser');
// Our Universal express-engine (found @ https://github.com/angular/universal/tree/master/modules/express-engine) server.engine('html', ngExpressEngine({ bootstrap: AppServerModuleNgFactory, }));
server.set('view engine', 'html'); server.set('views', distFolder);
// Example Express Rest API endpoints // app.get('/api/**', (req, res) => { }); // Serve static files from /browser server.get('.', express.static(distFolder, { maxAge: '1y' }));
// All regular routes use the Universal engine server.get('*', (req, res) => { res.render('index', { req, providers: [{ provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue: req.baseUrl }] }); });
return server; }
function run() { const port = process.env.PORT || 4000;
// Start up the Node server
const server = app();
server.listen(port, () => {
console.log(Node Express server listening on http://localhost:${port}
);
});
}
// Webpack will replace 'require' with 'webpack_require' // 'non_webpack_require' is a proxy to Node 'require' // The below code is to ensure that the server is run only when not requiring the bundle. declare const non_webpack_require: NodeRequire; const mainModule = non_webpack_require.main; if (mainModule && mainModule.filename === __filename) { run(); }
export * from './src/main.server';
