How to Launch Angular for Development from Visual Studio Projects

You'll want to make sure these settings are only going to apply when you're working with a Debug configuration, so it won't apply in production.
```
<PropertyGroup>
    <Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">Debug</Configuration>
    // ...
</PropertyGroup>
```
.njsproj doesn't know how to use your "start" or "dev" scripts from you package.json, so you'll need to explicitly list out the path to your CLI in the <StartupFile> tag.
```
<StartupFile>node_modules\@angular\cli\bin\ng</StartupFile>
```
Adding arguments via <StartupFile> doesn't work, so you'll have to explicitly list them in the <ScriptArguments> tag instead.
```
<ScriptArguments>serve --aot --open=true</ScriptArguments>
```
To avoid race conditions where VS tries to launch your app's server before the CLI is finished getting it started, you'll want to use the CLI's --open=true setting directly (instead of <StartWebBrowser>).
```
<StartWebBrowser>false</StartWebBrowser>
```

Putting it all together, you'll end up with a .njsproj with something like this:

FrontEnd.njsproj

<PropertyGroup>
    <Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">Debug</Configuration>
    // ...
    <StartupFile>node_modules\@angular\cli\bin\ng</StartupFile>
    <ScriptArguments>serve --aot --open=true</ScriptArguments>
    <StartWebBrowser>false</StartWebBrowser>
    // ...
  </PropertyGroup>
