Setting up MEAN stack not rendering app-root
Question
I'm trying to setup a basic mean stack by following this guide , but the client doesn't seem to render the app instead the body contains,
<body>
<app-root></app-root>
</body>
The file structure is exactly the same as a blank angular cli project except the addition of two extra files.
PLUS: npm install --save ejs cors express body-parser
routes/index.js
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
res.render('index.html');
});
module.exports = router;
server.js
var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var cors = require('cors')
var index = require('./routes/index');
// app
var app = express();
// cors
app.use(cors());
// views
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'src'));
// engine
app.set('view enginer', 'ejs');
app.engine('html', require('ejs').renderFile);
// angular dist
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/dist'));
// body bodyParser
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: false}));
// route
app.use('/', index);
// Initialize the app.
var server = app.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000, function () {
var port = server.address().port;
console.log("App now running on port", port);
});
I run an ng build and node server.js but get a blank white page in the browser.
Perhaps there is a breaking change that I'm not aware of since that guide was using angular2 (I'm using angular 6).

Since your index.html isn't directly inside the dist folder (rather, it is inside a sub-folder for some reason), try changing app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/dist')); to app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/dist/<your project name here>'));
