Angular File Ecosystem
When you create a new Angular project, you'll see many files and folders. Understanding what each file does is essential for effective development.
Root folder structure:
- e2e/ – End-to-end tests.
- node_modules/ – Installed npm packages.
- src/ – Your application source code (most important).
- .editorconfig – Code style settings.
- .gitignore – Git ignore rules.
- angular.json – Angular CLI configuration.
- package.json – npm dependencies and scripts.
- README.md – Project documentation.
- tsconfig.json – TypeScript compiler configuration.
Inside the src/ folder:
- app/ – Contains your components, services, modules.
- assets/ – Static files like images, fonts.
- environments/ – Environment-specific configuration.
- favicon.ico – Browser tab icon.
- index.html – Main HTML page.
- main.ts – Application entry point.
- polyfills.ts – Browser compatibility helpers.
- styles.css – Global styles.
- test.ts – Test entry point.
