Angular CLI - ng run

Angular CLI - ng run

Execute a named Architect target configured in the workspace.

Angular CLI - ng run illustration

How it works

ng run executes a configured Architect target in project:target[:configuration] form. Targets are defined in angular.json and can use builders from Angular or installed packages. This makes custom and third-party build, test, or deployment operations accessible through one command pattern.

Good practice

  • Check the local Angular CLI version and run commands from the intended workspace.
  • Review angular.json targets and builders before assuming optional commands are configured.
  • Use the package manager and lockfile selected by the project.
  • Review generated files, configuration changes, and build output before committing or deploying.
