Today i will: set up and deploy a simple hello world page with Angular and Python on my domain

Learn how to set up a basic Angular project using Python for backend functionalities, deploy it online, and configure DNS settings to make your application accessible worldwide.

Get started with your Angular Python setup

Make sure to add this Angular Python setup project to your agenda and share it with an aspiring web developer who would benefit from learning how to deploy applications online!

Why this guide is helpful

Embarking on this setup is an excellent way to familiarize yourself with deploying web applications. Understanding the integration between a frontend framework like Angular and a backend language like Python paves the way for more advanced projects. This guide is especially helpful if you're looking to enhance your skills in web development and deployment, laying a foundational knowledge that will be invaluable in real-world applications.

Setting up Angular

Begin with installing Node.js, which will give you access to npm (Node Package Manager). Open your terminal and run:

npm install -g @angular/cli

Create a new Angular project by executing:

ng new hello-world

Navigate into your project folder:

cd hello-world

To verify that everything is working, start your development server:

ng serve

Your basic Angular setup is ready to be developed further into a full-fledged application.

Integrating with Python

For backend services, you'll use Python. Ensure you have Python installed on your system. Set up a basic Flask application:

• Install Flask with:

  pip install Flask

• Create a new file, app.py, with simple route:

from flask import Flaskapp = Flask(__name__)@app.route('/')def home():    return 'Hello, World!'

Test your Flask server by running python app.py and visiting localhost:5000 on your web browser.

Deploying your application

To deploy your project, you can use a platform like Heroku. First, you need to create a Procfile in your project directory with:

web: gunicorn app:app

Use the following commands to prepare your app for deployment:

git initgit add .git commit -m 'Initial commit'heroku createheroku git:remote -a [your-app-name]git push heroku master

Your application will be deployed and accessible at the domain provided by Heroku.

Setting up DNS

To make your application available on your own domain, you must configure your DNS settings. After purchasing a domain, go to your domain provider's DNS management page and create a CNAME record with the following information:

• Name: www
• Type: CNAME
• Value: your-app-name.herokuapp.com

Once propagated, you can access your Angular Flask app using your domain name.
