How do you bootstrap Angular 9?

Question

My app is run in ElectronJs 8 which is the equivalent of Chrome 80 engine.

With Angular 8, I'm using AOT and my main.ts has something like this in it:

platformBrowser().bootstrapModuleFactory(AppModuleNgFactory)

Based on what I've ready, I don't think the app.module.ngfactory is generated anymore in Angular 9.

So how do I bootstrap the application? Do I revert to what I had before?

platformBrowserDynamic().boostrapModule(AppModule)

Am I loosing the AOT benefit by doing so?

Why would you lose AOT by doing so? Also why did you need `platformBrowser().bootstrapModuleFactory(AppModuleNgFactory)` to get AOT? `aot` is an option in the `angular.json` file — Guerric P, Feb 20 '20 at 21:39
@GuerricP - I may have a misunderstanding of what the first snippet of code is doing vs the second. — Cheetah, Feb 20 '20 at 21:47

As you can see in this question: Angular 2 / 4 / 5 - Ahead-of-time compilation how to the line platformBrowser().bootstrapModuleFactory(AppModuleNgFactory) is legacy from the very first versions of Angular. It is not required as of January 2017 to get AOT.

So the answer to my question is that I should be doing this: `platformBrowserDynamic().boostrapModule(AppModule)` for my use case? – Cheetah Feb 20 '20 at 21:53
Yes you can safely use this. – Guerric P Feb 20 '20 at 21:53
By safely you mean it will work...or is it the "standard Angular 9 practice"? – Cheetah Feb 20 '20 at 22:11
I mean this is the standard best practice, `ng` CLI generates this for new projects since a long time, and there is no reason to use something else. – Guerric P Feb 20 '20 at 22:16
