require('zone.js/dist/zone-node'); require('reflect-metadata'); const express = require('express'); const fs = require('fs'); const { platformServer, renderModuleFactory } = require('@angular/platform-server'); const { ngExpressEngine } = require('@nguniversal/express-engine'); // Import the AOT compiled factory for your AppServerModule. // This import will change with the hash of your built server bundle. const { AppServerModuleNgFactory } = require(`./dist-server/main.bundle`); const app = express(); const port = 8000; const baseUrl = `http://localhost:${port}`; // Set the engine app.engine('html', ngExpressEngine({ bootstrap: AppServerModuleNgFactory })); app.set('view engine', 'html'); app.set('views', 'dist'); app.use('/', express.static('dist', {index: false})); app.get('*', (req, res) => { res.render('../dist/index.html', { req, res }); }); app.listen(port, () => { console.log(`Listening at ${baseUrl}`); });
