Observe that there are glyphicons*.* files when bootstrap is included, how to ignore glyphicons with ng build ?

Desired functionality.

A way to ignore glyphicons while using ng-build

Mention any other details that might be useful.

[grizzm0]

glyphicons is referenced in bootstrap.css. This is just webpack/AngularCLI doing it's thing including all files needed for your CSS.

It doesn't really hurt that it's there other than OCD, does it? :p If you really want to remove it you could build from less/sass instead. Copy bootstrap.less/sass into your project and change all the imports to point to the correct files then remove @import "bootstrap/glyphicons";.

[filipesilva]

As @grizzm0 said, boostrap references glyphicons so they are included. This is intended behaviour.

Can we not still have a way to provide some excludes while building (example: ng build --exclude glyph*) or mention it in .angular-cli.json
