Ionic4 app with 2 projects with 3 env each. I am using angular.json for multi projects along with ionic.config.json -> Documentation
angular.json has 2 projects, each with this kind of configuration:
"configurations": {
"production": {
"fileReplacements": [
{
"replace": "src/environment/environment.ts",
"with": "src/environment/environment.xx.prod.ts"
}
]
// some parameters not important for our matter
},
"ci": {
"progress": false
},
"int": {
"fileReplacements": [
{
"replace": "src/environment/environment.ts",
"with": "src/environment/environment.xx.int.ts"
}
]
},
"dev": {
"fileReplacements": [
{
"replace": "src/environments/environment.ts",
"with": "src/environments/environment.xx.dev.ts"
}
]
}
}
I am running those apps in the browser with
ionic serve --project=xx -- --configuration=dev
This -- allow me to pass the --configuration to angular through ionic, so ionic runs
ng run xx:serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8100 --configuration=dev
For the browser everything works fine.
But now for the native, cordova doesn't work this way, my command is:
ionic cordova build android --project=xx -- --configuration=dev
So ionic runs
cordova run android --configuration=dev
This is not working, my angular doesn't know about my configuration.
In order to mimic the --configuration browser to cordova you need to implement angular-ionic-cli-builders
After implementing that you can stop doing the -- tricks for cordova build
ionic cordova build android --project=xx -- --configuration=dev
To
ionic cordova build android --configuration=dev
Here is my angular.json for a better understanding, sadly I dont have time to make a full tutorial, this is a complicated topic
Check this tutorial
Point of interest are the "serve" and "ionic-cordova-build" part, you can also see that my BrowserTarger are pointing to my differents environment dev int and prod
And also notice that "builder" from "ionic-cordova-serve" have been changed in order to use angular-ionic-cli-builders
