Just read Understanding @NgModule <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1isijHlib4fnukj-UxX5X1eWdUar6UkiGKPDFlOuNy1U/pub> and also went to the Using NgModules to Build Awesome Angular Apps <https://www.meetup.com/AngularJS-SF/events/232788601/> SF Meetup last night where Steven Fluin talked about @NgModule (great talk BTW - and thanks to Heston from Lyft for his talk too!)
I have a few questions. 1. As I understand it (from Steven's talk last night), compilation will generate JS from your templates (kinda like JSX I guess) and then tree shakes the code to pluck out only the referenced components/modules to include in the delivery to the client - all the rest is ignored (I hope I got that right - please correct me if I did not.) As a result of the tree shaking, are you saying, only the specific JS files you need will be sent down to the client? Given that, you could, in effect, import the world in your app's NgModule and let the tree shaking separate the wheat from the chaff - is that accurate (not that I would recommend it, but in theory, that is a valid assummption)? 2. In a web app, when would you want to have JIT compilation (vs pre-compilation). An app that is pre-compiled would result in faster perf, plus you wouldn't have to ship the compiler down to the client. So, why wouldn't you want to use pre-compilation? What is/are the use case(s) for JIT compilation? Is Angular Universal doing something similar? 3. If, in my app, I have very separate modules that don't share much (dashboard, admin, reporting), would it make sense to have an app NgModule and then one NgModule for each of these sections/modules? Is this a way to approach lazy loading modules (in addition to, in conjunction with, or separate from lazy loading routes?)
