Building your finished application

Now that you are finished developing your application, you can run the Angular CLI build command. When you run the build command in your todo directory, your application compiles into an output directory named dist/.

In the todo directory, run the following command at the command line:

ng  build --configuration production

The CLI compiles the application and puts the output in a new dist directory. The --prod flag with ng build gets rid of stuff you don't need for production.

Deploying your application

To deploy your application, you can copy the contents of the dist/my-project-name folder to your web server. Because these files are static, you can host them on any web server capable of serving files, such as:

• Node.js
• Java
• .NET

You can use any backend such as Firebase, Google Cloud, or App Engine.

What's next

At this point, you've built a basic application, but your Angular journey is just beginning. You can learn more by exploring the Angular documentation, such as:

• Tour of Heroes: An in-depth tutorial highlighting Angular features, such as using services, navigation, and getting data from a server.
• The Angular Components guides: A series of articles that cover topics such as lifecycle, component interaction, and view encapsulation.
• The Forms guides: Articles that guide you through building reactive forms in Angular, validating input, and building dynamic forms.
