More Info

heroku-angular2-seed

A simple starter project demonstrating the basic concepts of Angular 2.

Usage

• Clone or fork this repository
• Make sure you have node.js installed version 5+
• Make sure you have NPM installed version 3+
• WINDOWS ONLY run npm install -g webpack webpack-dev-server typescript to install global dependencies
• run npm install to install dependencies
• run npm start to fire up dev server
• open browser to http://localhost:3000
• if you want to use other port, open package.json file, then change port in --port 3000 script

Deployment to Heroku

First of all, this project is not forked from angular/angular2-seed for Heroku deployment requires some changes that look critically irrelevant to the original project.

• Meet all Heroku prerequisites i.e. free Heroku account and Heroku CLI installed
• Clone or fork this repository
• Run dev server the same way as above
• Create Heroku application with heroku create
• Add Node.js buildpack: heroku buildpacks:add heroku/nodejs
• Add static buildpack: heroku buildpacks:add https://github.com/hone/heroku-buildpack-static
• At the settings page of your app at Heroku set value for CONFIG_VAR config var
• Deploy the app with git push heroku master
• Use .env file for config vars of development environment

Heroku troubleshooting

Removing failing @types/core-js is a little bit tricky. Heroku node_modules caching is awesomely helpful. You can delete them whichever way you like with heroku run bash — they'll never die. The key to their immortality is accessible only from Heroku cache:

$ heroku plugins:install heroku-repo
$ heroku repo:purge_cache -a appname

Optionally

• Take a look at heroku-static-buildpack
• Take a look at pretty self-explaining commits
