Getting started

Make sure you have the Angular CLI installed globally, then run npm install to resolve all dependencies (might take a minute).

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.

Building the project

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.
