Angular 2 create and delpoy for first time

First time creating and deploying angular2 app

Getting Started

These instructions teach you how to create and deploy angular2 using Firebase and Angular2 CLI

Prerequisites

What things you need to install the software and how to install them

nodejs
npm
git
angular2 CLI

Installing

A step by step

nodejs & npm:

[https://nodejs.org/en/download/]

git:

[https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git]

angular2 CLI:

$ npm install angular-cli -g

Create your app

Create app: $ ng new my-app

Enter app directory: $ cd fb-host-test

Run app: $ ng serve

goto [http://localhost:4200] and see if app works.

Deployment

build app for deploy: $ ng build --prod

goto [https://console.firebase.google.com/] and create a new Firebase project.

install firebase tools: $ npm install -g firebase-tools

deploy to firebase: $ firebase login

after authentication, run: $ firebase init

First of all you're being asked which of the Firebase client features you want to use. Select the option Hosting: Configure and deploy Firebase Hosting site. Next the Firebase client will ask which folder to use for deployment. Type in dist. That is important because that is the location where our production build is stored.

Next the question is ask if this app is a single page app and if it should rewrite all URLs to index.html. In our case we need to answer yes.

Last question is if Firebase should over write file index.html. The answer to that question is no.

now run: $ firebase deploy
