Where does `ng serve` output files to?

Angular Cli

Angular Cli Problem Overview

ng serve is not building to the path that I have set in my angular-cli.json in apps[0].outDir.

ng build works correctly and builds to the path that I have specified.

Angular Cli Solutions

Solution 1 - Angular Cli

It's correct that ng serve builds in memory.

Angular CLI does not have support for running a server and writing to disk at the same time.

If you are using your own server, etc., you can use ng build --watch, which will watch files just like ng serve, but will write them to disk, and will not run a server.

Check this official documentation on how to serve files from disk:

Solution 2 - Angular Cli

Output is not written to disk when using ng serve. Everything will be kept in memory. Source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39256780/where-are-files-stored-when-running-ng-serve
