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

api-platform.com Unable to generate an IRI for the item of type I'm trying to setup my first api-platform instance and have run into some presumably noob questions around IDE. What i'm trying to do is setting up an register and reset entity in order to deal with registrations and password reminders from an app. And then have the entity's passed to a custom controller to do some checks, balances and mails afterwards (haven’t gotten around to that yet).
