Simple deployment

Now that we have everything ready, let's look at how to build our application.

First, we will look at the application after the changes have been made:

1. Open VS Code, click on view in the top menu bar, and click Integrated Terminal.
2. Type the following command in your Terminal:

npm start

3. Open your default browser and go to http://localhost.com:4200/beers.
4. Congratulations; you should see the following screenshot:

Note that we are running the command for development, using ng serve behind the  npm start command. Now, let's use the command to build the application, and check the results:

1. Go back to VS Code and type Ctrl+C to stop the server.
2. Type the following command:

npm run build

The preceding command will prepare the application for production; the Angular CLI will do all of the hard work for us. Now, we have a folder at the root of chapter03, as shown in the following screenshot:

The dist folder

As you can see, all of our application is inside of this folder, as optimized as possible...
