Enabling hot module replacement for angular cli project

Extra dependency

npm install @angularclass/hmr --save-dev
yarn add @angularclass/hmr -D

Start angular using ng serve --hmr
or even faster ng serve --hmr --sourcemaps=false if you are fine without sourcemaps.

You can add npm scripts for quicker access

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "ng serve --hmr --sourcemaps=false",
    "start:debug": "ng serve --hmr --sourcemaps=true"
  }
}
