Tsed: [Question] How to deploy to server

Description

Nowhere in the docs it's described how to deploy a project to a server. I've assumed that I should run npm run build and then put the contents of the dist folder on the server.

But when I run node index.js or node server.js an error occurs.

What is the correct way to deploy a project to a server?

[INFO] npm run start works perfectly

I found out that the error changes, if I build the project on the destination machine:

Hello @tobiasmuecksch

Hello @tobiasmuecksch
I found the issue.
Tsconfig if incorrectly configured in the getting-started example.

Here the right tsconfig:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".", // add baseUrl
    "outDir": "./dist",
    "target": "es2016",
    "lib": [
      "es2016",
      "dom"
    ],
    "typeRoots": [
      "./node_modules/@types"
    ],
    "module": "commonjs",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "sourceMap": true,
    "declaration": false,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "resolveJsonModule": true // add this options if you required json file in your code
  },
  "include": [
    "./src/**/*.ts"
  ],
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "./public",
    "dist",
    "test" // exclude test
  ]
}

And in your package.json add this line:

 "start:prod": "npm run build && cross-env NODE_ENV=production node dist/index.js"

Tell me if it works :)

See you

In my case start:dev doesn't work either, it doesn't reload the server when I make a change

[Romakita]

@chiqui3d Hot reload works as expected in getting-started example. But if you have a problem, see the right configuration with nodemon project :)

@Romakita With the corrected tsconfig it works. Thank you for the great support.
