None of the answers worked properly for me. And if it worked, the Angular routing did not work on reload.
So this is how I solved it. Angular routing works even on full page reload.

function getRoot(request, response) {
   response.sendFile(path.resolve('./public/angular/index.html'));
}

function getUndefined(request, response) {
   response.sendFile(path.resolve('./public/angular/index.html'));
}

// Note the dot at the beginning of the path
app.use(express.static('./public/angular'));

app.get('/', getRoot);
app.get('/*', getUndefined);

NO angular base-href rewrite is required! Just use ng build or ng build --prod.
