lite-serve

This builder allows you to run a lite-server with an existing dist folder. Useful in case of a CI/CD to avoid to build the project as part of the ng e2e command.

The only mandatory option is browserTarget. Using the target the lite-serve builder is able to figure out the path of the dist folder.

Options

browserTarget: Target to serve

port: Port to listen on. Default 4200

logLevel: Can be either "info", "debug", "warn", or "silent". Default: info

watch: Rebuild on change. Default false

open: Opens the url in default browser. Default false

How to use it

Basic Configuration

"example-app": {
      "projectType": "application",
      "root": "apps/example-app",
      "sourceRoot": "apps/example-app/src",
      "architect": {
        "build": {
          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:browser",
          "options": {
            "outputPath": "dist/apps/example-app"
          }
        },
        "lite-serve": {
          "builder": "@angular-custom-builders/lite-serve:dist-serve",
          "options": {
            "browserTarget": "example-app:build"
          }
        }
      }

1. Build the example app to generate the dist folder dist/apps/example-app

nx build example-app

1. Run the e2e without rebuilding the app

nx run example-app:lite-serve

Override the default Configuration

"example-app": {
      "projectType": "application",
      "root": "apps/example-app",
      "sourceRoot": "apps/example-app/src",
      "architect": {
        "build": {
          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:browser",
          "options": {
            "outputPath": "dist/apps/example-app"
          }
        },
        "lite-serve": {
          "builder": "@angular-custom-builders/lite-serve:dist-serve",
          "options": {
            "browserTarget": "example-app:build"
          },
          "configuration": {
            "verbose": {
              "port": 9999,
              "open": true,
              "logLevel": "debug"
            }
          }
        }
      }

1. Build the example app to generate the dist folder dist/apps/example-app

nx build example-app

1. Run the e2e with a custom configuration

nx run example-app:lite-serve:verbose
