Desired functionality

What would like to see implemented?

--watch added to ng build [project]

ng build projectName --watch

What is the usecase?

When building projects to be used in other apps, this command needs to be run manually each time.

We are not understanding the issue here, as ng build --watch already exists.

I'm sorry, but we don't understand the problem you are reporting.

If the problem persists, please open a new issue, provide a simple repository reproducing the problem, and describe the difference between the expected and current behavior. You can use ng new repro-app to create a new project where you reproduce the problem.

Hi Alan, not regular ng build --watch

What i meant was doing this with libraries:

Try building a library with:

ng build my-library --watch

ofcourse you need a library within your app, ng generate library my-library

Hope that makes sense

Works in Angular 7+ FYI. Update all dependencies of course.
