This is actually an express question rather than an angular one - express
serves up your index route and the rest of the routing is handled in
angular.
I just do the usual thing in express - app.get('/', function(req, res,
next) {res.send('200', 'hello world!')}).
But actually with angular, you can have express use a static middleware IMO
- you're just really serving up index.html, unless you're doing something
with jade or haml on index.
In my dev server, I use the express static middleware to serve my /web
directory which includes index.html, main.css and templates, and using
express mainly for serving up json resources needed by the page. I also use
a task runner to keep my coffee/sass files compiled and run a livereload
server (I use broccoli, but ymmv).
In production, it's similar, but I use nginx to serve the frontend statics
in a compiled / minified state. Broccoli build frontend and done.
