Angular 2 with CLI - build for production

Question

I have freshly installed angular-cli 1.0.0.beta.17 (latest one), start new project, able to serve project on port 4200 with no problems - just standard \"app works!\" message.

Answer 1

try this

 ng build --env=prod

The build system defaults to the dev environment which uses environment.ts, but if you do ng build --env=prod then environment.prod.ts will be used instead.

sample result if your project is new angular cli app.

Done and it's under /dist unless you have changed outDir in angular-cli.json
