How to serve?

Hi,

I’m getting this error. How to do the development from this project?

Using ng serve cause the error. Any other alternative way?

bash-3.2$ ng serve
You have to be inside an angular-cli project in order to use the serve command.

@jvandemo Yup. It’s working fine now. Just every time if any changes on ngx-library and need to execute npm run tsc. If got any hot deploy/watch will be better.

Now i moved all the code to the project hello-world for development. If everything work fine, only move back to ngx-library and to the final test.

At the app.module has to import as SampleModule.forRoot() only worked.

@FanYeeChok ng serve is throwing error because this is not an angular-cli project.

What you can do is to rely on npm link to use your library in a cli project.

Try this:

1. Create app with generator: yo angular2-library. Let’s say you go with name ngx-library.
2. Eventhough the dist folder is generated, go ahead and transpile files again: npm run tsc
3. Create a new Angular app. Let’s assume you use angular-cli. ng new hello-world
4. Run npm link inside /ngx-library, and npm link ngx-library inside /hello-world to have your library available inside your Angular app node_modules folder.
5. Import your new SampleModule module into app.module (add to decorator imports as well). If you have problems when running ng serve, try adding the library to decorator as SampleModule.forRoot().
6. Create <sample-component></sample-component> in app.component.html. Run ng serve. It should show an h1 with text “Sample Component”. Our library is working.

@jvandemo what do you think about adding to README these or some other indications on how to use the yo library in development?
