Deploying an Angular site on Patr

Angular is a popular framework for building single-page web applications. It uses TypeScript, a superset of JavaScript, and provides a comprehensive set of features for building complex and dynamic web applications.

Prerequisites - What you'll need

  • NodeJS: Instructions to install NodeJS can be found here.
  • Angular CLI: You can install Angular CLI from here.

Creating the application

To build an Angular application, you will need to create a new project using the Angular CLI. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

ng new my-project

Replace my-project with the name of your app. This will create a new Angular project in a directory called my-project. Once the app is created, navigate to the app directory by running the command cd my-project.

Building the application

Run the following command to build your Angular app:

ng build --prod

This will create a dist folder containing the optimized version of your app.

Uploading the application to Patr

  • Navigate to the Static Site Dashboard on Patr.
