Description

Description

We generate an Typscripte Api client for Angular with this Mavenplugin https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/tree/master/modules/swagger-codegen-maven-plugin . After that we publish the generated client code to a private npm repro. Then we integrate it into an Angular project and embed like in this tutorial: https://angular.schule/blog/2018-04-swagger-codegen .

after building the project with the folowing command
ng serve --prod

We get the follwing error:

Error during template compile of 'SwaggerModule' Only initialized variables and constants can be referenced in decorators because the value of this variable is needed by the template compiler in 'BASE_PATH' 'BASE_PATH' references 'BASE_PATH' 'BASE_PATH' is not initialized at ..

ng serve without production works totaly fine.

Steps to reproduce
  1. generate Typscript Api Client for Angular 5.2.10
  2. publish to npm
  3. import it into an plain angular project
  4. Set BASE_PATH in the AppModule like:
    import { ApiModule, BASE_PATH } from 'swaggerPackage ... providers: [{ provide: BASE_PATH, useValue: environment.API_BASE_PATH }], '
  5. Build project in production mode with:
    ng serve --prod

Research direction

Start by generating the TypeScript Angular client with swagger-codegen 2.31 using ngVersion 5.2.10, then reproduce the failure with ng serve --prod. Inspect the generated SwaggerModule and BASE_PATH usage referenced by the error, comparing production and non-production builds. Done means the generated client builds in production while still allowing BASE_PATH to be provided from the AppModule.
