Angular (web framework)
Angular is a web framework by Google which allows you to create progressive web apps (PWAs).
It can also be used to create native mobile or desktop apps.
This page is about Angular, also known as Angular 2. For AngularJS, the predecessor to Angular, see https://angularjs.org/.
Getting Started
See Angular Guide Setup Local.
- Install NodeJS and npm
- Install the Angular CLI:
npm install -g @angular/cli
Usage
Components
Components are the building blocks of Angular.
Each component consists of a HTML block and an associated JS class.
Services
Deployment
The basic idea is to do the following:
- Create a production build:
ng build --prod
- Copy the dist folder to the server.
- Redirect missing files to index.html.
Apache
Place the following in the apache config for your site or in an .htaccess file:
Rewrite Rules
RewriteEngine On
# If an existing asset or directory is requested go to it as it is
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
# If the requested resource doesn't exist, use index.html
RewriteRule ^ /index.html
