How to add/set environment Angular 6 angular.json file

Question

How do I specify the environment to use in Angular 6+? The .angular-cli.json file seems to have changed to angular.json from previous versions and with it the structure of the json within.

How/where in this file do I specify the environments to use?

Answer 1

Open angular.json file. we can see the configurations by default it will be shown for production add code snippet for your respective environments. add environment.dev.ts file in environment for dev, add environment.qa.ts for qa. Name as you prefered. use

 ng serve --configuration=environment_name 

environment_name - (dev,qa,prod) same process can be followed for ng build

"configurations": {         "production": {           "fileReplacements": [             {               "replace": "src/environments/environment.ts",               "with": "src/environments/environment.prod.ts"             }           ],           "optimization": true,           "outputHashing": "all",           "sourceMap": false,           "extractCss": true,           "namedChunks": false,           "aot": true,           "extractLicenses": true,           "vendorChunk": false,           "buildOptimizer": true         },         "dev": {           "fileReplacements": [             {               "replace": "src/environments/environment.ts",               "with": "src/environments/environment.dev.ts"             }           ],           "optimization": true,           "outputHashing": "all",           "sourceMap": true,           "extractCss": true,           "namedChunks": false,           "aot": true,           "extractLicenses": true,           "vendorChunk": false,           "buildOptimizer": true         },         "qa": {           "fileReplacements": [             {               "replace": "src/environments/environment.ts",               "with": "src/environments/environment.qa.ts"             }           ],           "optimization": true,           "outputHashing": "all",           "sourceMap": false,           "extractCss": true,           "namedChunks": false,           "aot": true,           "extractLicenses": true,           "vendorChunk": false,           "buildOptimizer": true         }       }
