How to run the Dist Folder on Local Machine in Angular 6+?
You can do that using http-server package.
First install the package globally
npm install http-server -g
Then inside your project directory(in the terminal) just run
http-server dist/
And if you are using Angular 6+ or above (Working with Angular 10), You have to run
http-server dist/your-project-name
Now you can visit http://localhost:8080 to view your application
In my case I did next:
Install http-server globally
npm install http-server -g
Then inside the project directory (in the terminal), I run
http-server dist/[your-project-name]
Now you can visit http://localhost:8080/index.html to view your application.But when I restart the browser page I have to add again /index.html into URL.
It works in Angular 7.x.x version.
Edit: Angular 12+: ng serve --configuration production
Since Angular 7 you can just do ng serve --prod=true. Documentation: https://angular.io/cli/serve
I know the question asks about Angular 6 but Google got me here, so just for future reference.
