Deploying an Angular 2 application from Visual Studio 2017

Question

I use Visual Studio 2017 and have developed two Angular 2 applications. The first is pure Angular 2 with no backend code (Data comes from wcf services). The second is an Angul

Answer 1

One option is to scaffold the application using the Angular CLI and an ASP.NET Core project.

1. npm install --global @angular/cli

2. ng new my-app

3. Change the outDir in the .angular-cli.json file to point to your project's /wwwroot directory

4. Configure your application as a static file server.

   void ConfigureServices(...) {
      app.AddMvc(); // Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc
   }
   
   void Configure(app) {
      app.UseMvcWithDefaultRoute();
      app.UseDefaultFiles(); // Microsoft.AspNetCore.StaticFiles
      app.UseStaticFiles();
   }
   

5. Right-click on the project and select Publish Select either Azure App Service or IIS/FTP and follow the on-screen instructions
