Angular2 in production without node js

Question

I am done with my development on angular2 and now want to deploy this in production. My backend is a springboot app so i can deploy it directly.

But I want to know how can I deploy angular2 in production? Do I need to install Node.js or it can be deployed independently of it?

Also, can I deploy it as a part of springboot app itself?

Building the app should produce a dist folder, then you just serve that folder on the backend of your choice. — jackarms

Dist folder doesn't have anything. Do I need to add anything in package.json to create files in dist or run any command for it? — NJin

You should run ng build and this should create a dist folder — jackarms

ng build giving me below error:- 'Error: The "@angular/compiler-cli" package was not properly installed. Error: TypeError: Object prototype may only be an Object or null: undefined'. i even tried to install again by deleting node_module but still same error. — NJin

That's too vague of an error to diagnose here. I'd recommend asking another question with that specific error, or I'm sure there are already questions asked addressing that issue. — jackarms

ng build will produce dist folder where it contains all required files you can use that file any where to run your angular project.

You can use:

nginx
spring boot to serve static content
Azure/AWS web app
or any other platform to host static contents

just be aware of security features which a web server provides like CORS, x-frame options to name a few

Security is fine as it will be used only on intranet. I dont want to use any server for angular2. Is there anyway to extract the js files and put them in springboot and just run the springboot jar.

spring.io/blog/2013/12/19/… Yes, just copy the build artifacts of your angular2 project to resources of spring boot and done!!

Do I need to copy node_modules as well? or just my js files built from .ts files?

just the built folder assuming you have built using browserify/webpack which includes the required node packages in the main ts files.
