Hi, I am using NodeJs application with the ionic app as a web application in the same project I am running this application locally by running these commands 1) node server.js and 2) npm run watch. So now I have to publish this application to Azure Static app service or App services. Which is the best way to publish the application?
Should I include these steps for the static app service yml file?
app_location: "/" # App source code path api_location: "/api" # Api source code path - optional api_build_command: 'node server.js'
app_build_command: 'npm run build' output_location: "dist" # Built app content directory - optional
Which place I should publish API and app?

If I have understood right you want to publish your Node.js application with Ionic app as a web application to Azure, you can use Azure App Service or Azure Static Web Apps.
For Azure App Service, you can follow the steps to create a new web app and deploy your application. You can publish your app and API to the same App Service instance.
For Azure Static Web Apps, you can follow the steps in to deploy your static web app. You can publish your app and API to the same Static Web App instance.
Regarding the YAML file, you can include the steps you mentioned in the YAML file for Azure Static Web Apps.
The
app_locationspecifies the path to your app source code,api_locationspecifies the path to your API source code,api_build_commandspecifies the command to build your API, andapp_build_commandspecifies the command to build your app. Theoutput_locationspecifies the directory where the built app content will be stored.You can publish your API and app to the same location in both Azure App Service and Azure Static Web Apps.
Please let us know if further query or issue remains.

Have any clarification ready to provide more details. Thank you. -
