How to deploy angulardart 5.2 properly for production?

Question

on the angulardart official website, I can not find any docs related to production deployment. I prefer command line way, so far I find out I can do webdev build to generate a build/ directory. But there are still some more questions:

1. I want to clarify what files I should deploy to the production server. I think they should be favicon.ico, index.html, main.dart.js, styles.css 4 files, right?

2. Why does it generate .build.manifest, .packages, packages/? two files and one directory which contains many directories and files. They are just confusing me. This is for production. Why do I ever want to have those files? Should I write a deploy script to simply auto-remove them?

3. It seems the generated main.dart.js is a minimized js file. But why are there many useless newlines in it? How to get rid of those useless newlines properly by using angulardart way? I can do that with gulp, but I don't want to use gulp if dart can handle this.

4. How to minimize html and css files properly by using angulardart way? for example, index.html and styles.css. Again, I can do that with gulp, but I don't want to use gulp if dart can handle this.

Thank you very much for your help.
