Example Angular app with Dockerfile that creates a running instance for running app or running tests

Dockerizing and Angular App

This repo shows how to create a Dockerfile for an Angular application. The instructions below explain how to create a Docker image and run it in a container.

Build Docker Image

docker build --tag mb/docker-angular . --target dev
or
docker build --tag mb/docker-angular-test . --target test

Run Docker Image

Run in foreground w/ interactive terminal

docker run -it --publish 4200:4200 mb/docker-angular

# for tests
docker run -it mb/docker-angular-test

NOTE: Give it time to boot up!

To run in background/detached mode

docker run --detach --publish 4200:4200 mb/docker-angular

or
docker run --name my_container --detach --publish 4200:4200 mb/docker-angular

NOTE: it doesn't make sense to run tests in detached mode because typically want to see the log output results of the tests
