The command npm run ng:build executes a script named ng:build in the project's root directory, equivalent to running ng build --prod --aot.

Cell 2

%%
bash

npm
run
ng:build

# runs
this
command in the
context
of
the
project:

    ng
build--
prod--
aot

What the code could have been:

typescript
/**
 * Builds the Angular project in production mode using Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilation.
 */

import * as childProcess from 'child_process';

export function buildAngularProject(): void {
  // Define the command to be executed
  const command = [
    'ng',
    'build',
    '--prod',
    '--aot',
  ];

  // Use childProcess to execute the command in the context of the project
  childProcess.exec(command.join(' '), (error) => {
    if (error) {
      console.error(`Error building the Angular project: ${error}`);
    } else {
      console.log('Angular project built successfully');
    }
  });
}

// Alternatively, you can use the npm run command to run the build script
export function runBuildScript(): void {
  // Define the command to be executed
  const command = ['npm', 'run', 'ng:build'];

  // Use childProcess to execute the command in the context of the project
  childProcess.exec(command.join(' '), (error) => {
    if (error) {
      console.error(`Error running build script: ${error}`);
    } else {
      console.log('Build script executed successfully');
    }
  });
}
```

You can call these functions as follows:

```typescript
buildAngularProject();
// or
runBuildScript();
