Deploying angular app to firebase

Deploying angular app to firebase

/ Log into firebase and create a project
// Make sure npm isn’t running anything any place in any terminal
// Change to your angular app folder. 
//For me, I did the first dino drill in angular, and so I was in the version-1 folder, and my project folder was named drill1angular. So, from the version-1 folder, I typed `cd drill1angular`
*ng build --prod*        
// creates a build folder and merges files into a compact build version.
// Now...cd into your dist/project-folder. Again, I named my project folder drill1angular, and since I was already in version-1/drill1angular, I typed cd dist/drill1angular. _Yes, now there's two project folders named the same thing that are in different places._ Make _sure_ you're in the project folder inside the dist folder. For me, that path was version-1/drill1angular/dist/drill1angular
*firebase init*              
// select hosting
// select your project
// *type  .  as your public directory*
// configure as single page app   NO
// overwrite index.html   NO
*firebase use --add*
// type your alias - I always just use the same name as the project folder
*firebase deploy*
