Support for Closure Compiler in Angular CLI

[naveedahmed1]

🚀 Feature request

This is based on the issue #2981

Here's a request to please add support for closure compiler in Angular CLI.

Command (mark with an x)

- [x ] build

Description

Since the bundles produced by Angular compiler are compatible with Closure compiler, therefore I believe it would be great if we could have the ability to compile our Angular applications using Closure compiler in Angular CLI.

Describe the solution you'd like

Some flag in angular.json file that could allow us to use Closure compiler with ng build command.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Though I haven't tried it, but below post shows how this can be achieved using angular cli:

What I am suggesting is ability to compile Angular applications using Closure Compiler with minimum efforts using Angular CLI.

hi @alan-agius4. just wondering whether this is on the roadmap in any form?

[alan-agius4]

Let's keep tracking this as part of angular/angular#37234 since the NPM packages of the Angular framework no longer support Closure Compiler ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS.
