VF Germany Angular Universal Demo App

Server-Side Rendering for Angular

Getting Started

Build Time Prerender(prerender) Vs. Server Side Rendering(ssr)

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

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

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
