Angular-universal getting error: You must pass in a NgModule or NgModuleFactory to be bootstrapped

Question

I converted my existing angular-cli application to angular-universal by following this guide.

You can look at my complete source code here.

I am able to buil

Answer 1

I checked out your repo and was able to view the dist fine without that error in the browser. Perhaps you forgot to add the flag -prod when running build? Please try this

ng build --prod

You can also remove the dist completely and/or remove node_modules, do npm cache clean, run npm install before trying to build again.

If you are using npm scripts, I notice that your /server build is missing the --prod flag. Please try this

"build:server": "ng build --prod --app 1 --output-hashing=false",
