How do i build my angular application with `npm run build : production` instead of using `npm run build --production`?

Hi my angular application is building with the following command:

npm run build --production

and also it can be built with the following command:

npm run build -- --c production

But what I want is , I want to build my application with the : instead of using -- that means I except the same result even I run the below command :

npm run build:production

Is it possible?

What I need to modify in the scripts section to achieve this. Please help me fix this.

Add build:production command under scripts in your package.json file:

{
  ...
  "scripts": {
     ...

     "build:production": "ng build --prod --aot --build-optimizer --common-chunk --vendor-chunk --optimization --progress --configuration=production"
   }
}

I used the same value you have under build command and appended --configuration=production to it.
