If you launch windows on Parallels and you open Firefox or Edge, in the address of your host machine with port 4200, you can see that the Angular application is running: For our scope, we can use the host machine IP, but, since it may change often, we can use the address 0.0.0.0, that indicates to answer to requests coming from any address: If you are working with Angular and Docker, you probably already know the parameter –host of ng serve, that serves to indicate the host on which the server must be listening in, whose default is exactly localhost. When you execute an application generated with the Angular CLI (ng to be clear), this one starts Angular Live Development Server on localhost:4200: Of course, the answer is “yes” and the solution is both simple and useful, especially if you need to test your applications on IE or Edge too. Since he doesn’t want to configure all his applications on windows to solve the problem, his question was: can I launch an Angular application on a Mac and run it on a Windows machine virtualized with Parallels? For those who don’t know Mac’s world, Parallels is the best-paid virtualizer for MacOS on the market. In particular, he was working on a project with a well-structured backend, configured on his Mac, and he received problems notice on the UI, when the application is executed on Firefox for Windows. Last week Carmine, our Design and UX consultant, contacted me to ask for support with a problem on an Angular project.
