The project is an Angular Web App with a NodeJS API deployed to Heroku. The following configuration is used to run on Heroku.

File package.json from:

"start": "ng serve",

to:

"start": "node server.js",

File main.ts, added:

import './polyfills.ts';

Install libraries and save the dependencies to package.json file so that they will also be installed when we deploy the application to Heroku:

npm install axios express body-parser cors --save

Install the Angular CLI so that remote Heroku deployment can use it:

npm install --save @angular/cli @angular/compiler-cli

Added in package.json:

"postinstall": "ng build --output-path dist"

Copy from dev dependencies to dependencies:

"@angular/cli": "^8.0.6",
"@angular/compiler-cli": "^8.0.3",

Note that ng serve is serving the node server.js API wich is the one exsposing /dist folder.

This project was generated with Angular CLI version 8.0.2.

Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive|pipe|service|class|guard|interface|enum|module.

Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the --prod flag for a production build.

Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma.

Run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor.

To get more help on the Angular CLI use ng help or go check out the Angular CLI README.
