Make Angular run on Node Server with Express JS

makesure you have run "npm run build" or "yarn build" for build angular production mode

yarn build

Install express in Angular proejct use npm or yarn

yarn add express

Create server.js in Angular root project with fill like below

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const path = require('path');
const fs = require('fs');

const port = process.env.NODE_PORT || 4200;

const root = path.join(__dirname, 'dist', 'learning_angular');


app.get('*' ,function(req, res) {
  fs.stat(root + req.path, function(err){
    if(err){
        res.sendFile("index.html", { root });
    }else{
        res.sendFile(req.path, { root });
    }
  })
});

app.listen(port);
console.log('Listening on port '+ port);

You can customize path production dist. example is dist/learning_angular

Now you can run "node server.js" in terminal

node server.js
