Update Angular 4 to Angular 5 or latest version

Hello Friend,

Today I am going to cover the topic “How to upgrade the Angular version from Angular 4 to any Angular 5 version”.

Need to add npm module, which will compare the package.json and check the online version of latest release of the build.

NPM: npm install -g npm-check-updates (https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-check-updates)

0788a4d8-3171-11e5-9881-8f7dcf634d14

ncu -u to upgrade the application package.json after that need to remove the node_module folder and run the npm install.

This is very useful npm to upgrade any of the node projects. You can do similar thing manually but there a lot of problems might be faced due to the dependent version of other modules.

Major Changes of Angular5

  1. AOT – is a major change that decreases the aot time.
  2. HTTP module is there but introduce the HTTP client 
  3. the zone is now a separate module.
  4. Aotplugin is no more exist for webpack, Now AngularCompilePlugin is introduced.
  5. PWA service-worker is introduced.

Hope you enjoy the topic and can easily to upgrade angular 4 apps to angular 5.

Thanks, Manoj
