SYNOPSIS

ng config [jsonPath] [value] [options]

ng config reads and writes values in the Angular workspace configuration file (angular.json). Configuration values are accessed using JSON path dot notation. When only a path is provided, the current value is displayed. When a value is also provided, the configuration is updated.This command is useful for scripting Angular workspace setup and for inspecting or modifying build configurations, default schematics, and CLI behavior.

PARAMETERS

jsonPath

JSON path to the configuration value using dot notation (e.g., projects.myApp.architect.build).

value

New value to set at the specified JSON path. If omitted, the current value is printed.

--global, -g

Access the global Angular CLI configuration instead of the project-level angular.json.

--help

Display help information.

CAVEATS

Part of Angular CLI. The configuration file must be valid JSON. Invalid JSON paths will produce errors. Changes to angular.json affect all developers working on the project.

HISTORY

ng config was introduced with Angular CLI 6 in 2018 as part of the workspace configuration overhaul that replaced .angular-cli.json with angular.json.
