angular-cli server - how to specify default port
In Angular 2 [email protected],
To run a new project on the different port, one way is to specify the port while you run ng serve command.
ng serve --port 4201
or the other way, you can edit your package.json file scripts part and attached the port to your start variable like I mentioned below and then simply run "npm start"
"scripts": {
"ng": "ng",
"start": "ng serve --port 4201",
... : ...,
... : ....
}
this way is much better where you don't need to define port explicitly every time.
Update for @angular/[email protected]: and over
In angular.json
you can specify a port per "project"
"projects": {
"my-cool-project": {
... rest of project config omitted
"architect": {
"serve": {
"options": {
"port": 1337
}
}
}
}
}
All options available:
https://angular.io/guide/workspace-config#project-tool-configuration-options
Alternatively, you may specify the port each time when running ng serve like this:
ng serve --port 1337
With this approach you may wish to put this into a script in your package.json to make it easier to run each time / share the config with others on your team:
"scripts": {
"start": "ng serve --port 1337"
}
Legacy:
Update for @angular/cli final:
Inside angular-cli.json
you can specify the port in the defaults:
"defaults": {
"serve": {
"port": 1337
}
}

The server in angular-cli
comes from the ember-cli
project.
To configure the server, create an .ember-cli
file in the project root. Add your JSON config in there:
{
"port": 1337
}
Restart the server and it will serve on that port.
There are more options specified here: http://ember-cli.com/#runtime-configuration
{
"skipGit" : true,
"port" : 999,
"host" : "0.1.0.1",
"liveReload" : true,
"environment" : "mock-development",
"checkForUpdates" : false
}
Use npm scripts instead... Edit your package.json and add the command to script section.
