Easily Create and Deploy an Angular App From Visual Studio Code to Azure App Service

If you’re a developer working with Angular and Visual Studio Code, you may find yourself wanting to deploy your app to an Azure App Service. The good news is that this process can be relatively straightforward thanks to the powerful tools available to you in Visual Studio Code.

Step 1: Create Your Angular App

The first step is to create your Angular app in Visual Studio Code. If you haven’t already installed the Angular CLI, you can do so by running the following command in the integrated terminal:

npm install -g @angular/cli

Once the Angular CLI is installed, you can create a new Angular app by running the following command:

ng new my-angular-app

This will generate a new Angular app in a directory called ‘my-angular-app’.

Step 2: Set Up an Azure App Service

Next, you’ll need to set up an Azure App Service to deploy your app to. You can do this through the Azure Portal or using the Azure CLI. Once your app service is set up, you’ll have the necessary credentials to deploy your app from Visual Studio Code.

Step 3: Install the Azure App Service Extension

In order to easily deploy your Angular app to Azure App Service, you’ll want to install the Azure App Service extension for Visual Studio Code. This extension provides a convenient way to manage your app service and deploy your app directly from the editor.

Step 4: Deploy Your Angular App

With the Azure App Service extension installed, you can now deploy your Angular app to Azure. Simply open the command palette in Visual Studio Code and select the option to deploy to Azure App Service. You’ll be prompted to log in to your Azure account, after which you can select your app service and deploy your app with just a few clicks.

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you can easily create and deploy an Angular app from Visual Studio Code to Azure App Service. This process streamlines the deployment process and allows you to focus on building and improving your app without getting bogged down in the details of deployment.
