next.angular.io/guide/ivy doesn't mention ivy-ngcc #29719
Description
📚 Docs or angular.io bug report
Description
https://next.angular.io/guide/ivy comes up if you Google how to enable/disable Ivy in existing project. It states that changing angularCompilerOptions is sufficient for that.
However, it doesn't mention the fact that when Angular CLI creates a project with --experimental-ivy it adds postinstall hook in package.json that runs ivy-ngcc. It then compiles all dependencies (as far as I understand) for the new compiler. And when you think you've disabled Ivy you are still in fact using it for external libraries, like Angular Material, which seems to be widely incompatible with Ivy.
🔬 Minimal Reproduction
What's the affected URL?**
https://next.angular.io/guide/ivy
Expected vs Actual Behavior**
Expected: tell about ivy-ngcc, what it does and how to fully enable/get rid of Ivy in a project.
Actual: states that changing configuration is enough.

Hi @mrnateriver, that is because the post install hook is no longer required with the latest changes.
NGCC is now integreated as part of the build pipeline.
Kindly see: angular/angular-cli#13968

Well, that PR is in
master, whereas Ivy can be enabled in current stable release. IMHO docs should've been updated with the release with that PR. But as of now, it causes confusion for newcomers (like me).But anyway, thanks for the heads-up!
