Running Angular / NodeJS app as standalone on macOS, iOS and Android #234

Hi,

I created a web application using the following technologies.

Angular (v12.2.4) - Front-End

Node.JS (v14.17.1) - Back-End (with the help of Nest.JS framework)

Then I wanted to create a desktop portable application using the same source.

I chose to run this application using NWJS as a wrapper on Windows and macOS, and it was successful with little effort.

One challenge I had to go through was, compiling the Node.JS Back-End code into a single JavaScript file.

So I could do it and run the application as a standalone successfully.

Now I need to run the same application source code in the following environment.

As a macOS application

As an iOS application

As an Android application

NOTE: I used the available NWJS application for macOS in order to run the app on macOS as a stand-alone application.

Apart from that, I want to know that, can I use this technology to run the application on the following environments (i.e macOS, iOS, Android)

It would be great having informative help/suggestions directing me to a point where I can configure, compile and run the application and get the output expected.

Thank you
