execute multiple commands with angular cli

Question

I have created an Angular app. I have created mock server using json-server plugin from node.

Currently problem with this is, I have to open multiple command prompt to run json server and angular cli.

Is there any way where I can execute both the commands in parallel. OR is there any way where I will run ng serve and in behind it runs the json-server command as well?

Answer 1

You can try to use the package called concurrently.

npm install concurrently --save-dev

Then setup your package.json scripts:

"start": "concurrently --kill-others \"npm run server\" \"ng serve\""

or on unix systems without the library

"start": "npm run server | ng serve"
