Docs on how to migrate from @nguniversal/express-engine's ngExpressEngine to Angular 17 SSR #26465
Closed as not planned
Description
Describe the problem that you experienced
I am attempting to migrate from Angular 16 to Angular 17. With regards to SSR I am having difficulty figuring how out to migrate my current code from something that looks like:
import { ngExpressEngine } from '@nguniversal/express-engine';
const compressor = compression();
server.use('*.js', compressor);
server.use((req, res, next) => {
const mimeType = mime.getType(req.url);
if (mimeType) {
res.setHeader('Content-Type', mimeType);
}
next();
});
server.engine(
'html',
ngExpressEngine({
bootstrap: AppServerModule,
})
);
server.set('view engine', 'html');
server.set('views', distFolder);
// Example Express Rest API endpoints
// server.get('/api/**', (req, res) => { });
// Serve static files from /browser
server.get(
'*.*',
express.static(distFolder, {
maxAge: '1y',
})
);
over to the new angular syntax of 17
server.get('*', (req, res, next) => {
const { protocol, originalUrl, baseUrl, headers } = req;
commonEngine
.render({
bootstrap,
documentFilePath: indexHtml,
url: `${protocol}://${headers.host}${originalUrl}`,
publicPath: browserDistFolder,
providers: [{ provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue: req.baseUrl }],
})
.then((html) => res.send(html))
.catch((err) => next(err));
});
A before and after of something above would be very helpful. Especially what is used in place of express engine e.g. just replaced within commonEngine
