How to serve an angular elements app in watch mode?












2















I have successfully created an Angular Elements application following this awesome guide.



The "serve" process consists of:




  1. Build the application and concat into a single js file ng build --prod --output-hashing=none && cat dist/tamigo-calendar/{runtime,polyfills,scripts,main}.js > ./plainHTML/ship.js

  2. Now serve a HTML file, containing the custom element. In this case lite-server.


But every time I do a change to the custom element, and wan't to see it updated I need to re-run the build script. So my question is this, how can I build this in watch mode?



The relevant parts of my package.json looks like this:



"buildForShip": "ng build --prod --output-hashing=none && cat dist/tamigo-calendar/{runtime,polyfills,scripts,main}.js > ./plainHTML/ship.js",
"plainHTML": "lite-server"
"start": "npm run -s buildForShip && npm run -s plainHTML"

  • @inthevortex that's not true - you can run build in watch mode. Check this out: stackoverflow.com/a/43347849/3694288

Following the article, you might have added a script named plainHTML in the scripts object of your package.json file. You can simply add --watch after it.



Something like this:



"plainHTML": "lite-server --watch"


This should run the server in watch mode and should look for file changes.



Also, since your file is going to be generated after building it, you can also use --watch in ng build for buildForShip script:



"buildForShip": "ng build --prod --watch --output-hashing=none && cat dist/tamigo-calendar/{runtime,polyfills,scripts,main}.js > ./plainHTML/ship.js",
