how to access istio mesh from browser

Question

I'm trying to inject istio into my kubernetes in minikube environment on my local ubuntu 16.04 system. this is my deployment yaml

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: nodejs-master
  labels:
    run: nodejs-master
spec:
  replicas: 1
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        run: nodejs-master
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nodejs-master
        image: hegdemahendra9/nodejs-master:v1
        ports:
        - containerPort: 8080
          protocol: TCP
---
kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: nodejs-master
spec:
  selector:
    run: nodejs-master
  ports:
    - name: port1
      protocol: TCP
      port: 8080
      targetPort: 8080
---
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: nodejs-slave
  labels:
    run: nodejs-slave

    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nodejs-slave
        image: hegdemahendra9/nodejs-slave:v1
        ports:
        - containerPort: 8081
          protocol: TCP

      port: 8081
      targetPort: 8081
  type: NodePort

I've enabled automatic sidecar injection and ran $kubect apply -f deployment.yaml

I've installed istio via this method here's my istio installation details :

Here's my gateway yaml

apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: Gateway
metadata:
  name: ms-gateway
spec:
  selector:
    istio: ingressgateway # use istio default controller
  servers:
  - port:
      number: 80
      name: http
      protocol: HTTP
    hosts:
    - "*"
---
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: VirtualService

spec:
  hosts:

  gateways:

  http:
  - match:
    - uri:
        prefix: /master
    route:
    - destination:
        host: nodejs-master
        port:
          number: 8080

I've applied my gateway using kubectl apply command. and trying to access it using

http://($minikube ip):kubectl -n istio-system get service istio-ingressgateway -o jsonpath='{.spec.ports[?(@.name=="http2")].nodePort}'/master

i.e http://192.168.99.100:31380/master

but I'm getting connection refused error. Someone please help.

thanks in advance.

Maybe it's the name of the service port. It should be "tcp-*". https://istio.io/docs/setup/kubernetes/additional-setup/requirements/
