enable production mode in angular 2

Question

I have been creating web application using Angular 2 and Firebase, I want to enable production mode.

main.ts

if (environment.production) {
  enableProdMode();
}

environment.ts

export const environment = {
  production: true
};

environment.prod.ts

export const environment = {
  production: true
};

Then I'm tried ng build -prod; ng serve ,but still not working.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

ng serve --prod didn't worked for me.

This worked btw 😊

ng serve --configuration=production

it creates a test production server which works same as it works on the deployed one. I tried this testing with environment.js (all other solutions didn't worked for me)
