ESBuild Support? about ngx-env HOT 7 CLOSED

It looks that it is now possible to override ESBuild configuration angular/angular-cli#24163

I'll work on that asap in preparation of v17.

Any help would be appreciated.

from ngx-env.

The @angular-devkit/build-angular:browser-esbuild builder is missing the ability to transform the ESBuild configuration as it's done in @angular-devkit/build-angular:browser
More details in this issue: angular/angular-cli#24163

Note: ESBuild supports a similar transformation https://esbuild.github.io/api/#define, waiting for the final builder interface to support it.

@luca-peruzzo not really.

I'm still struggling to get the esbuild plugin to work as expected. See angular/angular-cli#26326

I'd be interested to know how you got it to work.

If you have something ready, you can send a PR even if index.html is not supported we can indicate it as a limitation...

@chihab I found a way to modify index.html, I will update the pull request

Many thanks to @luca-peruzzo for his work on the esbuild support.

A new version has been published in alpha, please give it a try.

npx ng add @ngx-env/builder

Awesome thanks for the response! After reading through that issue it makes a ton of sense.

@chihab I created a fork to implement the necessary changes for angular 17. I was able to use angular's new builder ("@angular-devkit/build-angular:application") and its exposed functionality to add environment variables. However, the process of replacing variables in the index.html (e.g. %NG_APP_ENV%) is causing me problems, because unlike webpack it seems that in esbuild there is no direct way to manipulate the index. Angular itself manipulates the index after running esbuild... Do you have any suggestions for overcoming this problem?
