Migrating from NGINX to AngularCLI

Question

I have been using Nginx for my angular2 application. now I decided to migrate to the angular-CLI server. I am facing issues with setting cookies

In Nginx, I use proxy_cookie_path to define cookie path. how to do this in angular CLI

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name "a2distribution-local.com";
        location / {
                root /Users/mypc/Documents/angular2Distribution/ ;
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html =404;
                }
        location /rest/ {
                       proxy_set_header Host $host;
                       proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                       proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/cloudface/;
                       proxy_cookie_path /cloudface/  /;
               }
             }

How to achieve this configuration in angular CLI.

Angular-CLI is a development-only server. It's not indended for production. — JB Nizet

yeah, that I got it. I want these setup for development only. In production I still use Nginx. — Sibiraj

Why would you have to set cookies from the angular cli server? How could you? All it does is serve your static assets (images, generated JS bundles, index.html). What are you trying to achieve? — JB Nizet

I have an authentication system based on the cookie. how could I test without setting a cookie? can angular CLI server store a cookie? — Sibiraj

Angular Cli uses webpack-dev-server which inherently uses http-proxy-middleware for proxy the hood.

take a look at the provided options for http-proxy-middleware. I don't see any options that suit your need. However, this may be helpful for others.

For proxy examples, take a look at examples in the cli wiki:

currently, I am using '' document.cookie" as a hotfix to store my cookie.
