You may have noticed that if you refresh on a path in your deployed Angular app, you will receive page not found. This is because Netlify does not handle routing, which is breaking your Angular app. To ensure that your Angular routes are working, you will need to do the following:

1. In the src folder, add the _redirects file provided in the gist, no file extension.
2. In the angular.json config file, add "src/_redirects" to the assets array. The assets array can be found:

     projects
        app-name
           architect
             build
               options
                  assets
   

Then you may run ng build and drag-drop the folder to Netlify
