Save Port number for ember-cli in a config file

Question

I'm sure I remember seeing some documentation somewhere that had a way to save the port number ember-cli uses in a config file, but it doesn't seem to say anything in the documentation.

I have to use

ember server --port 9999

but i would love to save that port number in a file.

Answer 1

You can use a .ember-cli config file to change the port. discussion

So in your root folder, have a .ember-cli file with the following:

{
  "port": 9999
}

Edit: the .ember-cli file is now documented on the ember-cli website.
