Angular 6 CLI does not copy library's assets folder into dist folder

Question

How to use an external javascript file in angular library? Do we need to export that in public_api file? Added an external JS file in asset folder of a custom library. But it's not showing in Dist folder once it's build.

Answer 1

The "assets" property of angular.json can be configured to include custom files in angular-cli webpack build. So, configure "assets" property value as an array. For example:

" assets": ["assets""],

above configuration will copy asset folder into dist folder during the angular-cli webpack build.
