Set the Angular CLI build location

Question

I have an Angular 2 project generated with the Angular CLI (by typing ng new myProject).

How can I configure the build location, so after the build I will have a separate folder with all HTML, JS and other resources?

So, you would want another directory than the default dist directory? Why not copy the contents of dist where you want it after the build instead? — JB Nizet

The CLI already does this, that's what ng build is for. If you want to change the output directory, look in angular-cli.json. — jonrsharpe

Yes, the solution was to edit outDir in angular-cli.json file. Thanks! — Tomas Marik

2 Steps:

Edit outDir in angular-cli.json file.

(In this case the build will be located in "static" folder one step above project root directory)

Type ng build in the project root directory.

In Angular 6 onwards this configuration file is angular.json and it is outputPath rather than outDir.

The answer by Tomas Marik is correct for cases where you always want to use that output folder. But for cases where you need to be more flexible, you can also override the .angular-cli.json value by specifying it on the command line. This works for both ng build and ng serve:

ng build --output-path ../path/to/use
