I assume the question at Angular-cli tree-shaking exclude component from removal is very similar but I can't seem to get anything out of it.
Essentially I have a dynamic component factory as described in How can I use/create dynamic template to compile dynamic Component with Angular 2.0?.
When I build it using the latest Angular CLI with a non-production setting, it all works fine. However, once I use the production setting I get the following error trace in the browser immediately when trying to load a page that has dynamically created content:
EXCEPTION: No NgModule metadata found for 'e'.

Here is my component factory class:
@Injectable()
export class DynamicTypeBuilder {
constructor() {
}
private _cacheOfFactories: {[templateKey: string]: ComponentFactory<any>} = {};
private compiler: Compiler = new JitCompilerFactory([{useDebug: false, useJit: true}]).createCompiler();
public createComponentFactory<COMPONENT_TYPE>(type: any, template: string, additionalModules: any[] = []): Observable<ComponentFactory<COMPONENT_TYPE>> {
let factory = this._cacheOfFactories[template];
if (factory) {
return Observable.of(factory);
}
// unknown template ... let's create a Type for it
let module = this.createComponentModule(type, additionalModules);
// compiles and adds the created factory to the cache
return Observable.of(this.compiler.compileModuleAndAllComponentsSync(module))
.map((moduleWithFactories: ModuleWithComponentFactories<COMPONENT_TYPE>) => {
factory = moduleWithFactories.componentFactories.find(value => value.componentType == type);
this._cacheOfFactories[template] = factory;
return factory;
});
}
protected createComponentModule(componentType: any, additionalModules: any[]): Type<any> {
@NgModule({
imports: [
FormsModule,
ReactiveFormsModule,
BrowserModule,
PipesModule,
...additionalModules
],
declarations: [
componentType
],
schemas:[CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA]
})
class RuntimeComponentModule {
}
return RuntimeComponentModule;
}
}
which is being transpiled to
var _ = function() {
function e() {
this._cacheOfFactories = {},
this.compiler = new i.a([{
useDebug: !1,
useJit: !0
}]).createCompiler()
}
return e.prototype.createComponentFactory = function(e, t, n) {
var i = this;
var _ = this._cacheOfFactories[t];
if (_)
r.Observable.of(_);
var a = this.createComponentModule(e, n);
return r.Observable.of(this.compiler.compileModuleAndAllComponentsSync(a)).map(function(n) {
return _ = n.componentFactories.find(function(t) {
return t.componentType == e
}),
i._cacheOfFactories[t] = _,
_
})
}
,
e.prototype.createComponentModule = function(e, t) {
var n = function() {
function e() {}
return e
}();
return n
}
,
e.ctorParameters = function() {
return []
}
,
e
}()
The 'e' in the error message is the function e() from createComponentModule which, as you can see, is empty even though is should contain the @NgModule content.
How can I create a new NgModule dynamically and still use the production mode of Angular CLI?
Versions:
Angular2: 2.4.8
