How to ng serve an older Angular project?


How to ng serve an older Angular project?



I'm trying to ng serve a sample Angular project included in a third party framework. The sample project is wanting Angular v~4 judging from its package.json file. My global CLI version is 6.0.8. The project doesn't include a node_modules folder nor an angular-cli.json or angular.json file.


ng serve


package.json


node_modules


angular-cli.json


angular.json



How can I successfully ng serve this older project?


ng serve



Must I meddle with this project's package.json file to update the version numbers, or can I instead just install the older version ~4.0.3 of local Angular CLI?


package.json



And even then, once I install an older CLI version, how do I generate the angular-cli.json file via the CLI? So far I'm only able to get node_modules to appear - not an angular-cli.json or angular.json file.


angular-cli.json


node_modules


angular-cli.json


angular.json





ng new MyProjectName generates a new Angular app with a basic angular.json that you could use

ng new MyProjectName





Try running ng update @angular/cli and see if that repairs the issue.

ng update @angular/cli





Projects (should) never include a node_modules/ folder, that's what npm and package.json are for.

node_modules/


npm


package.json

It may be a silly question but did you use npm install after getting the project to install the dependencies?


npm install



Only after that will appear the folder node_modules.


node_modules

PHP contact form sending but not receiving emails

PHP contact form sending but not receiving emails I have created a contact form using PHP to send the data. The form seems to send fine as there are no errors and success message appears, however I am not receving the emails into the designated inbox. I am using PHPMailer as I originally tried just using the php 'mail' command which I now understand is a bit hit and miss. I cannot see why I would not be receving the emails so I would be very grateful for any help that could be given. I'm quite new to PHP so please be patient with me :) <?php use PHPMailerPHPMailerPHPMailer; use PHPMailerPHPMailerException; $msg = ""; if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { require 'phpmailer/src/Exception.php'; require 'phpmailer/src/PHPMailer.php'; require 'phpmailer/src/SMTP.php'; function sendemail ($to, $from, $body) { $mail = new PHPMailer(true); $mail->setFrom($from); $mail->addAddress($to); $ma...

iOS Top Alignment constraint based on screen (superview) height Let's say for example i want my view's top margin be 30 px for iPhone 6s and for the other screen i want to change this constants from 30 to X where X is proportional to total height of screen i.e. 36.5 for iPhone X, 33 for iPhone 6s plus, 25 for iPhone SE And so on .... I know i can take @IBOutlet of NSLayoutConstraint and change it programmatically but what i want is i want to set it like aspect ratio that we have for height width like subview's heigh width is proportional it's superview it changes with super view's height and width @IBOutlet NSLayoutConstraint 2 Answers 2 The constraint you need here is the superView's centerY set multiplier to 0.5 if you want the top anchor's constant to be 0.25 of screen height from the top , so adjust the multiplier according to this logic which is height_of_scre...

PHP parse/syntax errors; and how to solve them?

PHP parse/syntax errors; and how to solve them? Everyone runs into syntax errors. Even experienced programmers make typos. For newcomers it's just part of the learning process. However, it's often easy to interpret error messages such as: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in index.php on line 20 The unexpected symbol isn't always the real culprit. But the line number gives a rough idea where to start looking. Always look at the code context . The syntax mistake often hides in the mentioned or in previous code lines . Compare your code against syntax examples from the manual. While not every case matches the other. Yet there are some general steps to solve syntax mistakes . This references summarized the common pitfalls: Unexpected T_STRING Unexpected T_VARIABLE Unexpected '$varname' (T_VARIABLE) Unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING Unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE Unexpected $end Unexpected T_FUNCTION… Unexpected { { Unexpected } } Unexpe...
