angular 2 can't open dist/index.html after build?

Question

When trying to deploy my Angular2 app. I need to test if build works fine.

I get empty page when trying to do so !

Is dist/index.html can be used to directly open the app using browser ?

No. It should be served by a web server.

You have to deploy the content of your dist/ dir to a web server (think Caddy, nginx, Apache, etc.).

Then you can test the app got built ok.

why it doesn't work by double clicking index.html since it's just html/css/js ?

@Cleancoder: I guess, it's due to AJAX calls using HTTP - your local files would use file://. There also might be problems related to the paths in app.

in linux

Open the terminal, address to src/dist path
type python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Open your browser and type localhost:8000
