Hello,
I chose Netlify to deploy my Angular 13.3 SPA app with Server Side rendering (Angular universal). Locally and on my VPS, I’m running. I have setup Angular SSR by the official Angular guide, so I’m building SSR app with build:ssr command:
"build:ssr": "ng build && gzipper compress ./dist && ng run my-app:server",
That command creates me dist folder with two builds browser and server.
I have connected my Git repo, and set this in netlify.toml:
[build]
command = "npm run build:ssr"
functions = "./functions"
publish = "dist/my-app/server"
[[redirects]]
from = "/*"
to = "/main.js"
status = 200
Netlify builds the app without errors, but when I hit deploy preview site, there is just JS code from my main.js file in the server folder. I could not find any guide for deploying angular with SSR and serving it. My config is wrong I guess so if someone has a working config and setup, it would be great to share it.
ps.
Not sure If I have to do some changes in to the my server.ts file in root on my project, because currently its default angular - node express config in there.
server.ts
import 'zone.js/dist/zone-node';
import { ngExpressEngine } from '@nguniversal/express-engine';
import * as express from 'express';
import { join } from 'path';
import { AppServerModule } from './src/main.server';
import { APP_BASE_HREF } from '@angular/common';
import { existsSync } from 'fs';
// The Express app is exported so that it can be used by serverless Functions.
export function app(): express.Express {
const server = express();
const distFolder = join(process.cwd(), 'dist/my-app/browser');
const indexHtml = existsSync(join(distFolder, 'index.original.html')) ? 'index.original.html' : 'index';
// Our Universal express-engine (found @ https://github.com/angular/universal/tree/master/modules/express-engine)
server.engine('html', ngExpressEngine({
bootstrap: AppServerModule,
}));
server.set('view engine', 'html');
server.set('views', distFolder);
// Example Express Rest API endpoints
// server.get('/api/**', (req, res) => { });
// Serve static files from /browser
server.get('*.*', express.static(distFolder, {
maxAge: '1y'
}));
// All regular routes use the Universal engine
server.get('*', (req, res) => {
res.render(indexHtml, { req, providers: [{ provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue: req.baseUrl }] });
});
return server;
}
function run(): void {
const port = process.env['PORT'] || 4000;
// Start up the Node server
const server = app();
server.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Node Express server listening on http://localhost:${port}`);
});
}
// Webpack will replace 'require' with '__webpack_require__'
// '__non_webpack_require__' is a proxy to Node 'require'
// The below code is to ensure that the server is run only when not requiring the bundle.
declare const __non_webpack_require__: NodeRequire;
const mainModule = __non_webpack_require__.main;
const moduleFilename = mainModule && mainModule.filename || '';
if (moduleFilename === __filename || moduleFilename.includes('iisnode')) {
run();
}
export * from './src/main.server';
Thank you
