grunt-direct-ngc

Async Grunt task to call ngc from the command line, but without forking a new node

You can call ngc from Grunt as you learned it from the command line. However, it is called as an ordinary Grunt task, without forking a new node instance. Despite that, you can safely give any command line options you used.

An example:

module.exports = function(grunt) {
  'use strict';
  
  grunt.initConfig({
  
    ngc : {
      options : {
        args : ["-p", "tsconfig-aot.json"]
      }
    }
  
  }
  
  grunt.loadNpmTasks("grunt-direct-ngc");
};

It will be the equivalent of a ./node_modules/.bin/ngc -p tsconfig-aot.json. However, it will be run from Grunt directly, without any forking.

Watchmodue (-w) is not supported yet, by if you open a github issue, I will implement it in days.
