🔍 How to Allow Access Outside Localhost: A Guide for Angular2 Users
Are you struggling to allow access outside the localhost in Angular2? 🤔 Don't worry, we've got you covered! Many developers face the issue of not being able to navigate to their IP address while having no problems with local URLs. But fret not, because in this blog post, we'll provide you with easy solutions to this problem. 🚀
🔧 Common Issues and Specific Problem
The common issue faced by developers is not being able to navigate to their IP address, such as 10.123.14.12:3030/panel/, even though they can easily access the application on localhost:3030/panel. This can be frustrating, especially when you're trying to test your application on different devices or share it with others.
💡 Solution The issue here is related to the Angular development server's default configuration. By default, the server only listens to requests from the localhost (127.0.0.1). However, we can easily modify this configuration to allow access from external devices. Here's how you can do it:
Open your Angular project directory in a code editor.
Look for the
package.jsonfile.Find the
"start"script inside the"scripts"section.Modify the
"start"script to include the--hostflag with your desired IP address. For example:"start": "ng serve --host 0.0.0.0"This configuration will allow access from any IP address.
Save the
package.jsonfile.
Now, when you run your project using the command specified in the "start" script, you should be able to access it using your IP address, such as 10.123.14.12:3030/panel/. 🎉
