ng-deploy

Deploys an Angular application to a hosting provider

TLDR

Deploy the default project

$ ng deploy

Deploy a specific project

$ ng deploy [project-name]

Deploy with a build configuration

$ ng deploy --configuration production

Deploy without building first

$ ng deploy --no-build

ng deploy builds and deploys an Angular application to a remote hosting provider. The deploy command requires a deployment builder to be configured in the project's angular.json file, which is typically set up by adding a hosting provider package such as @angular/fire, @azure/ng-deploy, or @netlify-builder/deploy.The command first runs the build process and then invokes the configured builder to upload the output to the target hosting environment.

PARAMETERS

project

The project to deploy. Defaults to the default project in the workspace.

--configuration name

Build configuration to use for deployment.

--no-build

Skip the build step before deploying.

--help

Display help information.

CONFIGURATION

A deploy builder must be added via ng add before using this command:

$ ng add @angular/fire

$ ng add @netlify-builder/deploy

$ ng add @azure/ng-deploy

This registers the deploy target in angular.json under the project's architect section.

CAVEATS

Requires a deploy builder package to be installed and configured. Without one, the command will fail with a "no deploy target" error. Authentication with the hosting provider is typically required. Part of Angular CLI.

HISTORY

ng deploy was added to Angular CLI in version 8.3 (2019), providing a standardized interface for deployment across different hosting platforms through pluggable builders.
