Upload file root of Angular and access

Question

I am looking to upload a .js file example.js to Angular root and want to access it directly via localhost:3000/example.js

I have tried adding the file directly to root and also made changes to angular.json but nothing seems to work.

Is there a way to achieve this without copying the file to assets directory.

Any config changes in Angular.json

Answer 1

You have to add it inside your assets array, inside your angular.json file.

The file need at least to be inside your src folder though.

so this would be

src
  -- assets
  -- example.js

Then

"assets": [
   "src/assets",
   "src/example.js"
   ...
]

Cheers
