Angular cli - how to disable auto reload when ng serve

When serving my app with the Angular cli, how do I disable auto-reload?

ng --help mentions the --live-reload option, but I can't make it work.

ng serve --live-reload=false or ng serve --live-reload false do not work

EDIT : it seems to be a bug https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/1755

Solution 1:

Just do ng serve --live-reload false or ng serve --no-live-reload

It used to not work, this PR solved it.

serve your application with this command:

ng serve --live-reload=false

if you want to run your application in prod mode, use following command

ng serve --source-map=false --aot --prod --live-reload=false

I think you only want to disable the rebuild on change option

Just try:

$ ng serve --watch=true|false
