Remove console logs in production build (Angular 2.x)

Problem / Goal

For debugging, most of us often write console.log to enable us to analyze problems. 
But, it is might be dangerous because there is a risk of accidentally outputting confidential information (api key, password, etc).
Therefor, we don't want to output console.log in production.

Solution Overview

Override console.log method on a function that does nothing.
(There is also another way that use webpack settings.)

Concrete Steps

Override console.log method on a function that does nothing.

if (environment.production) {
  window.console.log = () => {};
}
