Run Long Angular Commands with a Simple Shortcut!

Tired of Typing Long Commands in Your Angular Project Run? 

In real-time projects, we often face restrictions that prevent us from running simple commands like: 

 

cmd => ng serve 
 

Instead, we’re required to use long, complex commands like: 

 

cmd=> "remote": "node --max_old_space_size=8000 ./node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng serve -c development", 

 

This is frustrating and time-consuming! But don’t worry—I’ve got a life hack to make it super easy! 

 

The Trick: Use package.json Scripts 

We can define a shortcut inside package.json so we only need to type a small command instead of a long one. 

 

Step 1: Open package.json and Add This Script 

Inside the "scripts" section, add: 

 

"remote": "node --max_old_space_size=8000 ./node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng serve -c development" 
 

Your package.json will look like this: 

 

{ 

  "name": "MMI-Jewel-app", 

  "version": "0.0.3", 

  "private": true, 

  "scripts": { 

    "start": "ng serve -o", 

    "compodoc": "npx compodoc -p tsconfig.doc.json -s -o --watch", 

    "remote": "node --max_old_space_size=8000 ./node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng serve -c development", 

    "build": "ng build --configuration production" 

  }, 

} 

Step 2: Run Your Command with a Simple Shortcut 

Now, instead of typing that long command, just run: 

 

cmd => npm run remote 

 

 Boom! It works like magic!  

 

 Why Use This Trick? 

Saves Time – No need to type long commands daily 

Reduces Errors – Avoid typos in long commands 

Easy to Remember – Just run npm run remote 

Boosts Productivity – Focus more on coding, less on commands 

 

This simple yet powerful trick can make your daily workflow smoother and more efficient. Whether you’re working in a restricted environment or just want to simplify your life, this is a must-use hack!
