How to have watch in an Express/Angular project in VS Code?

I have a Node Express project created via express-generator in VS Code. I then added Angular through @angular/cli via ng new.

The project works fine. I run it in debug by launching the main Node project. However, I have to run ng build and restart the Code debugging session each time I made changes to the Angular project. How do I set up the watch mode for the Javascript to be rebuilt when changes are saved?

Instead of ng build you can use ng serve.It will watch automatically for changes.

What about ng serve command.

From Angular quick start guide https://angular.io/guide/quickstart#serve

The ng serve command launches the server, watches your files, and rebuilds the app as you make changes to those files.
