I have a problem to configure express as a server in an angular application you can enter without problems at the HOME of the app but if you click on another route, the error is displayed.
Cannot GET /
this is my conf in server.js
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
app.use('/',express.static('dist/myapp'));
app.listen(80)
I am missing something to configure?
This is the server.js file I always use to host my Angular application. I got the code from Amazon Web Services Elastic Beanstalk.
"use strict";
const express = require("express");
const compression = require('compression');
// config
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
const app_folder = "./";
const options = {
dotfiles: 'ignore',
etag: false,
extensions: ['html', 'js', 'scss', 'css'],
index: false,
maxAge: '1y',
redirect: true,
}
// create app
const app = express();
app.use(compression());
app.use(express.static(app_folder, options));
// serve angular paths
app.all('*', function (req, res) {
res.status(200).sendFile(`/`, {root: app_folder});
});
// start listening
app.listen(port, function () {
console.log("Node Express server for " + app.name + " listening on http://localhost:" + port);
});
