Desired functionality.

I need to configure multiple apps with different --base-href values. Right now the only place where I can set this setting is via command line, but that leads to too complex NPM scripts. A better solution would be a setting inside the app array of .angular-cli.json. We already have deployUrl, so I don't understand why there is no baseHref yet.

You have my vote, looking for exactly the same feature.

There's a pending PR: #6461

Thanks!

I've just noticed, #3010 already considered this feature, but then got dismissed due to the last comment realizing that it is enough to change the base href in the index.html. However, when multiple app configurations are needed, editing index.html is no longer a practical solution.

Would love to see that feature !

just add "baseHref" : "YOUR_CUSTOM_HREF" to the "apps" in the angular-cli.json

{
   ....
 "apps": [
    {
       "baseHref" : "YOUR_CUSTOM_HREF"
     }
  ],
}

How does this work in Angular 6 with the new angular.json file?

@ffMathy

It's more or less the same way. In your angular.json file:

Build -> Configurations -> YOUR_CONFIG -> "baseHref" : "YOUR_CUSTOM_HREF"
