Angular Universal Starter

A minimal Angular starter for Universal JavaScript using the Angular CLI If you're looking for the Angular Universal repo go to angular/universal

Getting Started

This demo is built following the Angular CLI Wiki guide

We're utilizing packages from the Angular Universal @nguniversal repo, such as ng-module-map-ngfactory-loader to enable Lazy Loading.

Build Time Pre-rendering vs. Server-side Rendering (SSR)

This repo demonstrates the use of 2 different forms of Server-side Rendering.

Pre-render

• Happens at build time
• Renders your application and replaces the dist index.html with a version rendered at the route /.

Server-side Rendering (SSR)

• Happens at runtime
• Uses ngExpressEngine to render your application on the fly at the requested url.

Installation

• npm install or yarn

Development (Client-side only rendering)

• run npm run start which will start ng serve

Production (also for testing SSR/Pre-rendering locally)

npm run build:ssr && npm run serve:ssr - Compiles your application and spins up a Node Express to serve your Universal application on http://localhost:4000.

npm run build:prerender && npm run serve:prerender - Compiles your application and prerenders your applications files, spinning up a demo http-server so you can view it on http://localhost:8080 Note: To deploy your static site to a static hosting platform you will have to deploy the dist/browser folder, rather than the usual dist
