How to use the Angular CLI while in a different directory

Question

I want to serve my app without using cd

I tried this:

ng s --servePath=\Projects\front-user\ --optimization --aot
And this: ng s \Projects\front-user\ --optimization --aot

But I got Local workspace file ('angular.json') could not be found because I am doing something wrong with the path.

If I do cd /Projects/front-user/ && ng s --aot --optimization works perfectly but I would like to know if there is a way to specify the project path.

Thanks!

you can write a npm script scripts: {"other" : "cd otherfolder && ng s "} then you can run npm run other — Joy Biswas

Its a good way. But is the only way to specify a path with ng s ? — Oscar

Not it is not possible because ng s search in the current directory for a angular.json.

If you run ng s Projects/front-user/ if will be understood as the project name.

The best solution i can think of is a npm script in you package.json like

"scripts": {
    "start": "cd folder && ng serve",
    ...
}

Currently there is no parameter for such action, for all parameter see here.
