Basic Project Structure
When you create a new Angular project, the Angular CLI will generate a basic project structure with the following files and folders:
src/
: This folder contains the source code for your application.app/
: This folder contains the main application component and other related files.app.component.ts
: This file contains the main application component.app.module.ts
: This file contains the application module configuration.main.ts
: This file contains the main application entry point.styles.css
: This file contains global CSS styles for your application.index.html
: This file contains the HTML template for your application.
Next Steps
Once you have created a new Angular project, you can start building your application by:
- Creating components, services, and other features using the Angular CLI or manually.
- Writing TypeScript code in the
src/app
folder. - Running the application using the
ng serve
command. - Testing and debugging your application using the Angular CLI or a third-party testing framework.
That's it! You now have a basic Angular project set up and ready to start building your application.
