Issue description

Current behavior: Browser reloads page

Expected behavior: Browser reflects css changes without reloading page

Steps to reproduce: Run ng-serve Change .scss file Save

Other information:

The Angular 1 version (blur-admin) seemed to hot-replace css. Saves time when testing out new css, especially with things like modal dialogs that need to be re-opened on page load.

Hot Module Replacement (HMR) seems to be what I'm after.

npm, node, OS, Browser

Node: v10.14.2
Npm: v6.4.1

Angular, Nebular

"@angular": "^7.0.3",
"@nebular": "3.1.0",

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to enable Hot Module Replacement (HMR) for CSS in Angular CLI. Check if the ` hmr` flag works or if custom webpack configuration is needed. Look for existing Angular HMR guides and apply them to this project's SCSS setup.
