For those wanting to copy files outside the src
folder:
In example below I am copying all files from myfolder
to the root dist
folder.
In the angular-cli.json file (3rd line):
"assets": [
{ "glob": "**/*", "input": "./assets/", "output": "./assets/" },
{ "glob": "favicon.ico", "input": "./", "output": "./" },
{ "glob": "**/*", "input": "../myfolder", "output": "./" }
],
Angular-cli.json Documentation here
On your angular-cli.json on assets object add the folders you want to include like:
Note : For Angular 9, this should be placed on angular.json file
"assets": [
"assets",
"favicon.ico",
"META-INF",
"WEB-INF"
]
