This project uses examples from the tutorial "Create a Web App and RESTful API Server Using the MEAN Stack." Follow along by visiting https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/mean-apps-restful-api

You should have an Heroku account and Heroku CLI installed.

Step 1: Create a git remote $ heroku create

The database connection URI is stored as a config var in Heroku Dashboard > Settings

Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the -prod flag for a production build.
