How to tell if Angular 6 App is in production mode outside of Angular project

I have some Google Analytics code that is outside of the Angular project. I only want to include it if the environment is production.

I know there is an environment variable inside the Angular project that you can reference like this inside typescript...

if (environment.production) {

  // do stuff

}

That doesn't help if there is some static code outside of Angular though. I tried putting the Google analytics code inside Angular, but that seems to have issues with the scope not being found and typescript didn't like it.

Right now the best solution I have is to manually check the hostname which probably isn't the best solution (this is in the index.html outside the angular app)...

<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-00000000-0"></script>

<script>

        if(location.hostname === "productionurl.com") {

                // insert google analytics tracking code

                window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || ;

                function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}        

                gtag('js', new Date());        

                gtag('config', 'UA-000000000-0');

        }

</script>

I am used to using web.config files which would be simple, but this project uses an angular config instead to deal with environment variables.

Maybe there is a way to get the environment from something like "getAllAngularRootElements()" in vanilla javascript, but I haven't found a way.

For me the most clean solution at the moment is to use a second index.html file, for example index.prod.html, and make it replace the original one during the build process by using the "fileReplacements" property in the "production" env config inside angular.json.

This is a good solution. I have seen the file replace examples for other script files and such, but I didn't even think to swap out entire html files. Thanks for the easy and clean solution

I am using Angulartics2 github.com/angulartics/angulartics2/tree/master/src/lib/… The instructions on that page say to put the normal angular setup code right after the body...which is outside the angular app. When the page first loads it automatically registers a page hit. I can turn off the "startTracking" stuff later, but the original page enter still happens. I guess it isn't that big of a deal, but it seemed like it would be neat if you could pull environment variables from the angular object since it is used to control the web project.

It actually says that you should put standard GTM code at the beginning of the <body>, and then to import { Angulartics2GoogleTagManager } from 'angulartics2/gtm';
