Ths is a simple nodejs script that will make the necessary changes in an angular project to enable running ng serve targeting es5 bundles, so
you can do local development against Internet Explorer.
You can install this package globally like so
npm i -g ng-ie-serve then run this from your angular project root directory: ng-ie-serve --project=my-project-here (project parameter is optional)
Or you may use this package without installing globally by using npx
npx ng-ie-serve from your angular project root directory.
You cannot just install this as a dev dependency as previous versions have stated. It must be installed globally or used through npx.
If the script ran successfully you'll see this message:
C:\junk\test-prj>npx ng-ie-serve
npx: installed 1 in 2.217s

npm run start:ie if you didn't provide a project name
npm run start:my-ng-project-here:ie if you provided a project name
