Changing the dist folder path in Angular

When you run an ng-build command angular bundles your app for production and placed it inside dist/your-app folder. In this tutorial, we are going to learn about how to change the dist folder path in angular.

Changing the dist folder

1. Open the angular app in your favorite code editor.

2. Navigate to the angular.json file.

3. Now, add a new folder path to the outputPath property.

{
  "$schema": "./node_modules/@angular/cli/lib/config/schema.json",
  "version": 1,
  "newProjectRoot": "projects",
  "projects": {
    "my-p-angular": {
      "projectType": "application",
      "schematics": {},
      "root": "",
      "sourceRoot": "src",
      "prefix": "app",
      "architect": {
        "build": {
          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:browser",
          "options": {
            "outputPath": "msg-app",

Here I added msg-app as my output path, so when I run ng bundle command my production angular app is placed inside the msg-app folder.

or you can change it by adding a --outputPath=folder-name flag after the ng build command.

ng build --outputPath=msg-app
