How do I build with watch enabled using angular-cli?

Question

I don\'t want to use serve, I know it watches for changes, builds and serves. I want to build upon changes. According to \"ng help\", build takes parameter --watch

Answer 1

The ng build --watch looks for the path: dist to watch the changes. But as per the new version of the Angular, the default output path will be dist/.

So you need to mention the output directory through command line like

ng build --output-path dist --watch

or

you can change the default location in angular.json... -> options -> outputPath: dist/ to dist and simply run ng build --watch
