Ionic as a web server

I have an Ionic project and I want it to work as if it is a web server (say mamp + php).

Since ionic is able to display a project in browser localy (using ionic serve), I am pretty sure it is able to do that. I have a simple ovh server.

How could I do that ?

Solution

  • You gonna need send all your project files (www folder) and dependencies to an web server.

    You can try.

    Local

        $ cd [ionic project]
    $ ionic platform add browser
    $ cd [ionic project]/platforms/browser/

    and move your www folder to your server [webapp] folder.

    Server

    In your server:

    1.Install Node.js

    1. Install connect and serve-static

      $ cd [webapp] $ npm install connect serve-static

    2. Create server.js file

      var connect = require('connect');
var serveStatic = require('serve-static');
connect().use(serveStatic(__dirname)).listen(8080)

    3. Run serve

      $ node server.js &

    Browser

    Now you can go to http://yourdomain:8080/index.html

    I hope this can help you :)
