TL;DR
Angular is a very popular web framework of developing SPA (Single Page Application) and Native Application using modern technology like typescript and rxjs.
Angular supports two types of compilation.
- AOT (Ahead of time Compilation) - In Browser
- JIT (Just in time Compilation) - During Build
What is JIT and AOT and their differences
The main differences between JIT and AOT in Angular are: Just-in-Time (JIT), compiles your app in the browser at runtime. Ahead-of-Time (AOT), compiles your app at build time on the server. JIT compilation is the default when you run the ng build (build only), or ng serve (build and serve locally)
Advantage of AOT compilation
- Faster rendering
- Fewer network request
- Smaller bundle size
- Detects template error(s) at build time
How to compile the angular app using AOT.
if you want to build your app using AOT compilation. Run the following command at the terminal
ng build --prod --aot=true
Advantages of JIT Compilation
Below are some benefits of JIT compilation
- No build required after changing the code
- Good for local development because it’s only built the change file.
