Building and Deploying Angular Application to Laragon

If you have been working with Angular, you may have noticed how easy it is to develop powerful and responsive web applications. However, once your application is ready to be deployed, you may be wondering what the best way to do so is. In this article, we will be discussing how to build an Angular application and deploy it to Laragon, a popular local development environment.

Building the Angular Application

First, make sure you have Angular CLI installed. If not, you can install it by running the following command:

npm install -g @angular/cli

Once you have Angular CLI installed, navigate to the root folder of your Angular application and run the following command to build your application:

ng build

This command will build your Angular application and create a “dist” folder that contains all the necessary files to run your application.

Deploying to Laragon

Now that your Angular application is built, it’s time to deploy it to Laragon. Laragon is a great local development environment that makes it easy to run web applications on your local machine. To deploy the application to Laragon, follow these steps:

1. Open Laragon and make sure the Apache and MySQL services are running.
2. Navigate to the “www” folder in the Laragon installation directory.
3. Create a new folder for your Angular application, for example “my-angular-app”.
4. Copy the contents of the “dist” folder that was created when you built the Angular application into the “my-angular-app” folder.
5. In Laragon, click on the “Menu” button and select “Quick Create” to create a new Virtual Host. Set the document root to the folder where you copied the Angular application and click “Create.”
6. Now, you can access your Angular application by navigating to the Virtual Host URL in your web browser.

Conclusion

Deploying an Angular application to Laragon is a simple and effective way to run your web application on your local machine. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily build your Angular application and deploy it to Laragon for testing and development purposes.
