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

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). But I keep running into this error when posting to my custom entities: { "@context": "/api/contexts/Error", "@type": "hydra:Error", "hydra:title": "An error occurred", "hydra:description": "Unable to generate an IRI for the item of type "AppXXXUserBundleEntityRegister"", "trace": [ { "namespace": "", "short_class": "", "c

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

Do graphics cards have individual ID by which single devices can be distinguished?

Do graphics cards have individual ID by which single devices can be distinguished? I have several graphics cards of the same manufacturer and same model and I want to distinguish them not only by the pcie socket they reside in but by some individual value I can read from the hardware. Is there such value and if so what would it be called and how could I access it? Right now I'm using modern nvidia cards (10xx series) and nvidia inspector.but I'd prefer if there was any value that was also applicable to amd. I have programming and scripting knowledge. I am running Windows 10 1 Answer 1 This is a powershell example to pull information from video cards. The DeviceID is supposed to be unique but only if the manufacturer supports Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM).
