Angular 2 Web pack starter production build not working about angular2-materialize HOT 11 CLOSED

Few questions to direct this issue to the right place:

1. Does it work if you don't minify the code?
2. Try to mangling the code. Does that work?
3. Do you get the same problem when you run the non-webpack minified version? (plain scripts imported in the HTML)

from angular2-materialize.

1. Yes, It works when I don't minify.
2. Yes, without any mangling, the code works fine.
3. Yes, when I was testing without webpack, it worked.

I think if I exclude materialize.js from UglifyJsPlugin, it will work. But I think I wrote the regex wrong.

Also I noticed the files becomes significantly bigger on including MaterializeJs ( >1MB).

Is there a way to load the scripts (jquery, materialize.js) from cdn ? I tried with externals plugin. But it didn't work.

I tried minifiying the example app and it worked well when using JSPM. Here's the minified JS: http://angular2-materialize.surge.sh/index.js (the example app is here: http://angular2-materialize.surge.sh)

You can load the MaterializeCSS scripts directive like this:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/materialize/0.97.6/css/materialize.min.css">
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/materialize/0.97.6/js/materialize.min.js"></script>

Which version of Angular2 are you using? During beta there were problems with minifying it. The reason I'm asking is that the problem you're getting it actually in the Angular code. In browser_adapter.js .

I am using angular 2 RC. If I include the script tags from cdn, won't there will be duplication ?

Once in webpack bundle, second time in index.html.

BTW the mangle problem is solved by adding materialize to the except list.

except: ['Materialize']

Is there a way to alias something to an empty return value in Webpack?
The import in angular2-materialize is global: https://github.com/InfomediaLtd/angular2-materialize/blob/master/src/index.ts#L1
So it doesn't expect anything to come back. Only expects "materialize" to point at something.

I can also create a different entry point for angular2-materialize that doesn't include the import. This way it stands on its own and you can import materialize separately (before angular2-materialize, though). Of that helps..

from angular2-materialize.

If I point 'materialize' to global 'Materialize and disable alias 'materialize' to local script,

 externals : {
    "materialize": "Materialize"
  },

and

    alias: {
      materializecss: 'materialize-css/dist/css/materialize.css',
      // materialize: 'materialize-css/dist/js/materialize.js',
  }

I am getting this error
ORIGINAL EXCEPTION: Error: Couldn't find materialize function ''tabs' on element or the global Materialize object.

from angular2-materialize.

It means that Materialize doesn't exist on the window. It hasn't been loaded.
Or, that it points to the wrong thing.

Try not having the external. Also, maybe alias materialize to the CSS as well.

@Arkanayan I've just read this on the Uglify documentation: "by default, UglifyJS will remove code that is obviously unreachable". Maybe it removed Materialize, thinking it's not used?

Can you try running your same setup with the following Uglify flag? --no-dead-code
It should disable the dead code elimination and then we'll know if this is what's causing Materialize to be removed from your prod build.

from angular2-materialize.

@rubyboy You are right. With dead code not removed, it works.

This is the config on webpack

  new UglifyJsPlugin({
      // beautify: true, //debug
      // mangle: false, //debug 
      // unused: false, //debug
      // deadCode: false, //debug
      // compress: {
      //   screw_ie8: true,
      //   keep_fnames: true,
      //   drop_debugger: false,
      //   dead_code: false,
      //   unused: false
      // }, // debug
      // comments: true, //debug

      beautify: false, //prod
      dead_code: false, //debug  

// If you want to remove dead code, uncomment this mangle block
/*      mangle: {
        except: ['Materialize']
      },
*/

/*
      mangle: {
        screw_ie8 : true,
        keep_fnames: true
      }, //prod
*/

      compress: {
        screw_ie8: true
      }, //prod

      exclude: ['/materialize.js/g'],
      comments: false //prod
    }),

You can close this issue, if you want.
