angular - How can I get my app (running via ng serve) to connect to a Node back-end while preserving the auto-reload functionality?

Question

I've just migrated my application to Angular CLI. I already have my REST API Node server up and running. I would like to be able to run my front-end with ng serve, to have the auto-reload feature every time I change a file, but also have it connect to my node back-end.

Livereload server is running on port 49152 Serving on port 4200 Node listening on port 8080

All my node routes are prefixed with api.

Is this possible?
