Node and npm too slow to start after install of macOS Mojave

Question

Actually, before macOS Mojave, node/npm would start immediately, and then depending on the task would take their time (10-20 seconds to finish ng start ).

After upgrading to macOS Mojave, it takes 30-45 seconds to start the process, then 10-20 seconds to ng serve.

The only change was upgrading to macOS Mojave

Any ideas?

I was facing the same issue...

Again Issue was not just related to Angular or React project... All the nodejs based CLI got slower after macOS Mojave update.

I had nvm to manage my node version so install LTS again with nvm install --lts and npm start and ng start starts working normally ...

If you do not have nvm just remove nodejs and reinstall again
