How can I disable AOT in angular2?

Question

I got something like this:

ng build --prod --no-aot

But I am not able to understand what is the difference between

ng build --prod  

and

ng build --prod --no-aot

Solution 1

Update: For Angular 6+

Use the following command to disable AOT mode:

$ ng build --prod --aot=false --build-optimizer=false

Solution 2

Just run command ng build -prod -aot=false. This will disable the aot compiler.

Solution 3

The flag --prod does the AOT compilation by default. If you want to build without AOT then simply run ng build only without any flag.
