Angular-cli: On build, output a manifest of bundles

[dylanlawrence]

- [ x ] feature request

Desired functionality.

The webpack build output essentially references a few(5) files in "index.html" and allows one to work within, which is ok. But, it would be helpful for placing these bundles into other arrangements outside of this static scenario.

Example - _dist/manifest.json_

{
    "data": {
        "production": true
    },
    "css": [
        "styles.*.bundle.css"
    ],
    "js": [
        "inline.*.bundle.js",
        "polyfills.*.bundle.js",
        "vendor.*.bundle.js",
        "main.*.bundle.js"
    ]
}

Currently

I can only find awful hacks where you leave the index.html empty and fish out the elements with gulp like this SO question - yuck!

plugin example

It seems like this webpack-manifest-plugin is the basic idea but it can probably be added to the cli in a way to offers additional parameters etc.

you can use:

ng build --stats-json

Thanks, that works, it's just quite large.
I was able to use JSONStream.parse(["assetsByChunkName"]) for just the bit I need.
There could be a less verbose version of this maybe.

This isn't something we're looking at adding per se, but for now --stats-json serves that need.

[kirillgroshkov]

Didnt't work for me! Enabled --stats-json, it produces stats.json file, but not expected manifest.json

[kirillgroshkov]

Aaaa, now I get it. You extract the data from stats.json. Ok, I can to the same.
