Include a plain HTML file and folder with Angular CLI Build?

Question

Is there a way for me to include a static html file using ng build? I would like to place it in a sub folder every time I build

e.g. MySite.com/static/index.html

I know I can do that manually, but would prefer to not do that for every build

Answer 1

Add the static folder in your project and with index.html in it. Then, just add an entry to the target folder under assets in your .angular-cli.json:

"assets": [
        "assets",
        "favicon.ico",
        "static" 
      ],

Answer 2

According to the docs, you can do this in .angular-cli.json. Add an entry to the apps assets array, similar to the following:

{ "glob": "index.html", "output": "static" }

This assumes that index.html is in the src folder. You can also include an input property in the object if the source directory is different.

Answer 3

I came across this via a search for the same issue. The Angular documentation and file structure has changed a bit since previous posts.

Now configure it in angular.json and it is documented here:
