# Opting into Angular Ivy with Angular CLI
|
|
|
|
Ivy is the code name for Angular's [next-generation compilation and rendering pipeline](https://blog.angular.io/a-plan-for-version-8-0-and-ivy-b3318dfc19f7). Starting with Angular version 8, you can choose to opt in to start using Ivy now, and help in its continuing develpment and tuning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Starting a new project using Ivy
|
|
|
|
To start a new project with Ivy enabled, use the `--enable-ivy` flag with the [`ng new`](cli/new) command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
ng new shiny-ivy-app --enable-ivy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The new project is automatically configured for Ivy.
|
|
- The `enableIvy` option is set to `true` in `src/tsconfig.app.json`.
|
|
- The `"aot": true` option is added to your default build options.
|
|
- A `postinstall` script is provided for the [Angular Compatibility Compiler](#ngcc).
|
|
|
|
{@a updating}
|
|
## Updating an existing project to use Ivy
|
|
|
|
You can update an existing project to use Ivy by making the following configuration changes.
|
|
|
|
- Add the `enableIvy` option in the `angularCompilerOptions` in your project's `src/tsconfig.app.json`.
|
|
To use Ivy before version 8 is final, add the `allowEmptyCodegenFiles`as well.
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"compilerOptions": { ... },
|
|
"angularCompilerOptions": {
|
|
"enableIvy": true,
|
|
"allowEmptyCodegenFiles": true,
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
- In the `angular.json` workspace configuration file, set the default build options for your project to always use AOT compilation.
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"projects": {
|
|
"my-existing-project": {
|
|
"architect": {
|
|
"build": {
|
|
"options": {
|
|
...
|
|
"aot": true,
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
- Add a `postinstall` script to the workspace `package.json` file to run the [Angular Compatibility Compiler](#ngcc).
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
...
|
|
"postinstall": "ivy-ngcc"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
- Reinstall your `package.json` dependencies to run the newly added script.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Switching back to the current compiler
|
|
|
|
To stop using the Ivy compiler you need to undo the steps taken when [updating to use Ivy](#updating).
|
|
- Set `enableIvy` to false in `src/tsconfig.app.json`, or remove it completely.
|
|
- Remove `"aot": true` from your default build options if you didn't have it there before.
|
|
- Remove the `postinstall` script.
|
|
- Delete and reinstall your node modules.
|
|
|
|
|
|
{@a ngcc}
|
|
## The Angular Compatibility Compiler
|
|
|
|
The Angular Compatibility (`ngcc`) compiler helps you compile third-party libraries with Ivy so that you can use them in your Ivy application.
|
|
Use a postinstall script in your `package.json` to always run `ngcc` when you install your `package.json` dependencies, so that all projects in the workspace are compiled with Ivy.
|
|
|
|
<div class="alert is-helpful">
|
|
|
|
Using a postinstall hook to run `ngcc` is just a temporary integration.
|
|
We expect `ngcc` to be seamlessly integrated into the Angular CLI build pipeline in the future before the full Ivy rollout.
|
|
Once that's implemented `ngcc` will not be visible to developers.
|
|
|
|
Note that there are currently some build-time performance issues with `ngcc`. Please bear with us while we improve the tooling and build integration in the Angular CLI.
