Best approach for deploying Angular app in Express

This approach serves pre gzipped Angular files and sets client-side caching for static files to 1 year

var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var logger = require('morgan');
var mime = require('mime-types');
//var compression = require('compression');
var expressStaticGzip = require("express-static-gzip");
var app = express();
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({extended: false}));
app.use(cookieParser());
//app.use(compression());
app.use("/", expressStaticGzip(path.join(__dirname, 'public'), {
    maxAge: "365d",
    setHeaders: function (res, path) {
        if (mime.lookup(path) === 'text/html') {
            res.setHeader('Cache-Control', 'public, max-age=0')
        }
    }
}));
//app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public'), {maxAge: 31536000}));
app.get('*', function (req, res, next) {
    var file = path.join(__dirname, 'public', 'index.html');
    res.sendFile(file);
});
module.exports = app;
