Heroku Deployment

URL: https://meanty-hall.herokuapp.com/

To deploy on Heroku:

1. Create a local branch heroku

2. Create a new app at Heroku Dashboard page.

3. In heroku branch, do the following:

   1. exclude dist, config.env from the .gitignore, as they are required for the app to run properly
   2. In package.json, change "start": "ng serve" to "start": "node server" so that heroku runs app using node.js not angular.

4. add remote heroku repo and push heroku branch by running:

   git add remote heroku https://git.heroku.com/<app-name>.git
   
   // git push <remote-name> <local-branch>:<remote-branch>
   git push heroku heroku:master

Local Deployment

1. git clone repository

2. run npm install to install dependencies as node_modules

3. Manually create config.env under config directory:

   DB_URI=mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@<host>/<db-name>?retryWrites=true&w=majority
   

4. Run npm run dev and verify that node server runs correctly and database connection is successful.

   You should see something like below in CLI

   Server running on Port <PORT_NUMBER>
   MongoDB connected to: <DB_HOST> 
   

5. Run ng build and you will see an angular web app built into dist directory

6. You can now try the app locally at http://localhost:<PORT_NUMBER>
