• This is a simple sample to demonstrate Azure Static WebApps. It uses URL Rewriting in Angular. Click on "About", bookmark it and close and reopen the browser. Use your bookmark

• The app is using a mock apiUrl that is defined in environments.ts and whos value will be replaced by the Azure DevOps

• Examine staticwebapp.config.json. It contains the configuration for the Azure Static Web App. Here it sets URL-rewriting rules.

  {
    "navigationFallback": {
      "rewrite": "/index.html",
      "exclude": ["/assets/*"]
    },
    "responseOverrides": {
      "404": {
        "rewrite": "/index.html",
        "statusCode": 200
      }
    }
  }

• Login to Azrue

  az login

• Create the Static Web App by execution create-static-web-app.azcli. You will use the deployment token later in your DevOps pipeline:

  grp=ng-adv
  loc=westeurope
  app=angular-app-$RANDOM
  
  az group create -n $grp -l $loc
  az staticwebapp create -n $app -g $grp
  token=$(az staticwebapp secrets list --name $app --query "properties.apiKey")
  echo "Deployment Token: $token"

• Import build-deploy-swa-ado.yml into your Azure Devops tenant. It builds and deploys the app to Azure Static Web Apps. It uses the deployment token from the previous step.
