I've been using Wakanda v2 server for a few months now. I'm using Angular (v2+ not angularJS) for the front end.
I finally got to the point where I want to publish my Angular app through Wakanda. (I suppose I could just as easily use Apache but Wakanda has a web server so why not use it?)
The problem is I don't know how to publish the app with Wakanda. I tried putting the 'dist' files in the web folder but Wakanda keeps saying "Service Not Available".
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
This feature is under hard work and schedule for the v2.2
release.
In the meantime, you can do these steps manually:
web
folder in terminal. Right click on web
folder, then select open in terminal
npm run build
. A dist
folder is createddist
folder into the backend
projectdist
folder in the backend
project as the WebFolder
. Right click on it, then select set as active webfolder
.You can have issue with the angular URL strategy. The #
angular is not understood by Wakanda Server. Therefor, you can add useHash: true
in the /src/app/app.module.ts
.
RouterModule.forRoot(routes, { useHash: true })
