Updating an already migrated project you should follow this process:
Install Node.js, version 16.20 or above is required
You must update your angular/cli version to version 16
First uninstall your current version with command and clean cache:
yarn global remove @angular/cli or npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
yarn cache clean or npm cache verify
3. Install the 15 version:
yarn global add @angular/cli@16.2.14 or
npm install -g @angular/cli@16.2.14
Project updates can be performed both manually or using the Angular CLI Tool.
The first recommendation is to generate your new Angular 16 upgraded code through the Conversion Tool same as the first time.
You can also use the Angular CLI tool to migrate your WebMap project automatically from Angular 15 to 16.
Compile your migrated application with ng build, also you can compile with
ng build --configuration=production for the production mode.
To take full advantage of these changes we strongly recommend you install some extensions for your Visual Studio Code:
With these extensions you will be able to format your code according the expected ESLint standard. Also, it will report you directly on the editor any possible error that you introduce in the code files.
Download the latest Node.js release from its page and install the new Node.js release.
If you have problems with latest version, use this instead .
To perform the update, you need to follow the official provided by Angular.
Maybe you going to need more RAM for the compilation process, please use node --max_old_space_size=8192 build to assign 8 GB of RAM.
Since the update to Angular 13 we also moved from the deprecated TSLint () to ESLint () and enable the Prettier code formatter for our components frameworks to keep a clean and tidy code.
Prettier - Code formatter:
ESLint:
Remove (if installed) the TSLint extension:
