# Introduction

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, deploying web applications is crucial to sharing your innovative creations with the world. [Angular](https://angular.io/), a popular front-end framework, empowers developers to build dynamic and feature-rich web applications. When it comes to deploying Angular apps, there are several options available that can be tedious and time-consuming deployments of your Angular app. Still, one seamless option is available, the [Spheron Network](https://spheron.network/). Spheron is a powerful platform that allows you to easily deploy and manage your Angular projects with just a few clicks.

By following this guide, you will be able to deploy your Angular app in less than a minute, benefiting from features such as continuous deployment and custom domain setup. So let's get started!

## What is Spheron Network?

Spheron Network is a next-generation PaaS that offers low-cost and seamless access to Web3 infrastructure across multiple chains. It is explicitly designed to serve a broader audience, including startups, developers, and organizations looking to scale their infrastructure.

Spheron harnesses the power of blockchain technology to provide secure and scalable solutions, simplifying the hosting and deployment of dApps while reducing the learning curve. By combining IPFS storage, Filecoin, and Arweave, Spheron ensures a seamless yet affordable experience. In addition to web hosting, compute, and storage capabilities, Spheron offers many features to enhance productivity and enable stakeholders to reach new heights while prioritizing privacy, security, and reliability.

## How to Deploy Angular App with Spheron?

You can follow these steps to deploy your Angular Apps on Spheron.

### Step 1. Create an Angular Application

**You may skip this step if you already have a functioning Angular app.**

Make sure you have Node.js and the npm package manager installed.

- Install the Angular CLI globally on your system via: 

```
npm install -g @angular/cli

```

- Lets create an angular project using the command below. 

```
ng new your-app-name

```

This process will create a simple application in the folder you named. The application will have all the tools to work with the commands you give through the Angular CLI. It might take a little while because the computer needs to get all the necessary parts to make the app work.

- The next step is to enter the directory of the app you are working on

```
cd your-app-name

```

- Start your angular project.

```
ng serve --open

```

The Angular project will start and open immediately in your browser once the preview on [**http://localhost:4200/**](http://localhost:4200/) is ready. By default, `ng serve` serves the application locally on port 4200, but this can be changed using a command line argument: `ng serve --port=8080`.

- Push your React app to Github, which will allow Spheron to gain access to your project for deployment. 

### Step 2: Create a Free Spheron Network Account

1. Visit Spheron Network: [https://spheron.network/](https://spheron.network/)

2. On the Spheron homepage, locate and click the **"Free Trial"** button.

3. You'll be directed to a login/signup page. **Choose your preferred authentication method: GitHub account, GitLab account, or Bitbucket account.**

4. Follow the provided prompts to authenticate your chosen account securely. This step ensures safe access to the Spheron Network platform.

5. After successful authentication, you'll be guided to a confirmation page confirming the completion of your account setup.

### Step 3: Create an Organization

1. Upon logging in, you'll be directed to a page to create your organization's name, username, and Avatar. Ensure the "Web App" option is selected from the drop-down menu at the top right corner. And click **Save**.

2. Next, you'll be taken to a new page. Click the **"New Project"** button.

### Step 4: Deploying your Angular App With Sphron Platform UI

Next, You will see a new page. Select your preferred Git provider from the options and authorize Spheron to access your Angular application's repository.

1. Choose your Angular repository from the list of available repositories.

2. Select the protocol you want to use for deployment. As of now, **Spheron supports Arweave, Filecoin, and IPFS**.

3. Provide details about the branch you want to deploy and the build commands that are already going to be prefilled, but if you are using different commands than default, then the following settings can be configured:

- **Framework:** Spheron has the capability to automatically pick the framework for you, but if it doesn't, choose Angular.

- **Branch to deploy from:** Select the branch you want to deploy from the dropdown menu.

- **Root directory:** If you have a monorepo app structure, enter the root directory of your application.

- **Install command:** By default, it is `yarn install` , but you have the flexibility to select either `Yarn` or `npm` based on your preference.

- **Build command:** By default it is to `yarn build`, but you have the flexibility to select either `Yarn` or `npm` based on your preference.

- **Publish directory:** Set this to **dist/{app-name}** , where {app-name} is the name of your app in your package.json file.

- **Environment variables:** Add any environment variables that you want to set before building your application.

- **Node engine:** Change the node engine of your deployment if needed.

1. Click the **"Deploy"** button to initiate the deployment process.

That's it! Your Angular application will now be deployed to the selected protocol using the Spheron Platform UI.

**Note :** The first time you want to deploy your project, you need to do it manually through the dashboard. But after that, Spheron makes things easier. From the next time onwards, when you make any new changes and save them, Spheron will automatically triggers a new build and deployment of your project with those changes. This happens every time you push new changes to your project on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket.
