I'm relatively new to Angular 2, and I'm trying to build an app using the angular-cli system. This works and I can ng-serve and the application comes up. However, it seems like a huge pain in the ass to try and serve the application with anything other than the ng-serve system. In particular I'm trying to serve the application built with angular-cli with a Python Flask app. The amount of hoops I'm seemingly having to jump through trying to get this to work is making me crazy! I want to do this because I want to serve a REST API with the Python/Flask app that will respond to the HTTP services requests from the Angular 2 application.
Here are the relevant versions I'm using:
node - 6.2.2
npm - 2.9.5
angular 2 - rc.4
angular-cli - 1.0.0-beta.9
python - 2.7.5
flask - 0.10.1
How can I serve an Angular app while using Flask?
