Research direction

Start by tracing the Angular CLI build process from index generation through hash computation. Verify where a hook could run between those stages, then confirm that executing a post-generation action before hashing preserves the final index hash and resolves the Angular service-worker mismatch described in the issue.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

area: @angular-devkit/build-angular feature feature: under consideration
Desired functionality

It would be nice to have a hook in the build process, between the index generation and the hash computation, for execute something.

I try to use the Critical lib with my Angular project. First, I build my app, then I use Critical script in order to inline my CSS in the index file : I rewrite my index file. It was messed up with Angular SW, so I submit an issue in Angular's Github (https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/25267).

@gkalpak explains that the issue result from the stored hash mismatch, because of the rewrite of index file.
