VistasHow to serve an Angular 2 dist folder index.html
I'm using this angular 4 seed app: https://github.com/2sic/app-tutorial-angular4-hello-dnn
It uses webpack and works fine.
It only seems to serve the dev files and not the dist/ folder.
I want to ng serve the dist folder.
Not sure the command to do this or if I need to install a lite server or something.
I run this command to create the dist folder (which works fine):
g build --prod --aot --output-hashing=none
Now I want to run this build in the browser.

You can use http-server for doing so. First of all generate a build using the command ng build --prod --aot --output-hashing=none. This will create a dist folder in your directory structure.
After this, run http-server ./dist, which will start serving your project from dist folder.
Make sure you have installed http-server globally using
npm install http-server -g
For reference, see https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server

At least for Angular apps, angular-http-server seems to be a nicer option.
First install it with your prefered package manager, say
npm install angular-http-server -g
or
yarn global add angular-http-server
Then execute it:
angular-http-server --path path/to/dist/folder
Look at the repo for more information about usage.
PS: According the author, it should also work with other SPA frameworks (React, Vue and so forth).
PPS: Do not use angular-http-server for production, use this solution for testing purposes only.

You need a server to serve your generated build.
I am using http-server. Install http-server using:
npm install -g http-server
now go inside your dist folder and run this command
http-server
as shown here:
Check http://localhost:8080 in your browser
