It seems like the issue you are facing with your Angular application deployed on Azure is that it is serving the directory structure instead of displaying the actual application. This typically happens when the server does not know which file to serve as the entry point for the application.
To resolve this issue, you can try setting up a rewrite rule in the Azure web server configuration to direct all requests to the root `index.html` file. This way, when users access your site, they will be served the Angular application instead of the directory structure.
Here is an example of how you can set up a rewrite rule in your Azure configuration file:
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Angular Routes" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/index.html" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
You can add this rule to your `web.config` file in the root directory of your Azure application. This rule will ensure that all requests are redirected to the `index.html` file, allowing Angular's routing to take over and display the correct components based on the URL.
After adding this rule, redeploy your application to Azure, and the issue of serving the directory should be resolved. Give it a try, and let me know if you need further assistance or encounter any other challenges along the way.
