Angular 11 - Script Added to scripts folder and path to angular.json-CodePudding

Forgive me as I am new to Angular.

I have recently added a script file into the src/assets/scripts folder and have placed its path under the scripts section in angular.json.

Question is: Do I need to re-run ng serve so that it will be loaded the next time the application runs?

Appreciate the responses.

CodePudding user response：

By default, If you mention any script in the angular.json it will be part of the bundle(meaning its automatically included). If you don't want that to happened, there is a different way to inject the script:

"scripts": [
  {
    "input": "src/external-module/main.js",
    "inject": false,
    "bundleName": "external-module"
  }
]

This way the script will be part of the dist, but will not be added to the index.html. You'll have to manually load it or add it to the index.html
