Angular cli - how to disable auto reload when ng serve

Question

When serving my app with the Angular cli, how do I disable auto-reload?

ng --help mentions the --live-reload option, but I can\'t make it work.

Answer 1

Just do ng serve --live-reload false or ng serve --no-live-reload

It used to not work, this PR solved it.

Answer 2

I think you only want to disable the rebuild on change option

Just try:

$ ng serve --watch=true|false

Answer 3

The solution for this is to upgrade the version of the CLI you are using. The CLI now uses in memory for the build process and is no longer writing to disk. This helps with the antivirus/disk write issue.

Answer 4

serve your application with this command:

ng serve --live-reload=false

if you want to run your application in prod mode, use following command

ng serve --source-map=false --aot --prod --live-reload=false
